“…Stigma can spread by virtue of association: an individual can be stigmatized purely because of an association, rather than because of discrediting attributes (Goldstein and Johnson, 1997;Mehta and Farina, 1988). 'Stigma by association' (Goldstein and Johnson, 1997) or 'courtesy stigma' (Goffman, 1963) or 'associative stigma' (Mehta and Farina, 1988) is well studied in laboratory settings (e.g.…”

We suggest that the mechanism underlying this phenomenon is stigmatization by mere association. The result suggests that scientific misconduct generates large indirect costs in the form of mistrust against a wider range of research findings than was previously assumed. The broad fallout of misconduct implies that potential whistleblowers might be disinclined to make their concerns public in order to protect their own reputation and career.

“…As Link and Phelan (2006: 528) summarized, "Stigma processes have a dramatic and probably under-recognized effect on the distribution of life chances." Likewise, scholars have documented the effects of courtesy stigma on a range of groups, from the children of alcoholics and the mentally ill (Burk and Sher, 1990;Mehta and Farina, 1988) to the friends of gays and lesbians (Neuberg et al, 1994) to the dating partners of the disabled (Goldstein and Johnson, 1997). Indeed, this research suggests that stigma can spread through even just mere association or proximity.…”

“…Families report that subjective burdens, which include the challenges of mental health stigma, are greater than the objective ones (Thompson and Doll 1982). Family members of individuals with mental illness are likely to encounter courtesy stigma, which is the extension of stigmatizing beliefs and attitudes to close others based on mere association (Corrigan and Miller 2004;Mehta and Farina 1988). Research indicates courtesy stigma affects parents and family members in several ways including self-stigma/internalization of stigma, relational stigma, and further, institutional stigma (Muhlbauer 2002;Singh 2004).…”

Despite the central role culture plays in racial and ethnic disparities in mental health among ethnic minority and immigrant children and families, existing measures of engagement in mental health services have failed to integrate culturally specific factors that shape these families' engagement with mental health services. To illustrate this gap, the authors systematically review 119 existing instruments that measure the multi-dimensional and developmental process of engagement for ethnic minority and immigrant children and families. The review is anchored in a new integrated conceptualization of engagement, the culturally infused engagement model. The review assesses culturally relevant cognitive, attitudinal, and behavioral mechanisms of engagement from the stages of problem recognition and help seeking to treatment participation that can help illuminate the gaps. Existing measures examined four central domains pertinent to the process of engagement for ethnic minority and immigrant children and families: (a) expressions of mental distress and illness, (b) causal explanations of mental distress and illness, (c) beliefs about mental distress and illness, and (d) beliefs and experiences of seeking help. The findings highlight the variety of tools that are used to measure behavioral and attitudinal dimensions of engagement, showing the limitations of their application for ethnic minority and immigrant children and families. The review proposes directions for promising research methodologies to help intervention scientists and clinicians improve engagement and service delivery and reduce disparities among ethnic minority and immigrant children and families at large, and recommends practical applications for training, program planning, and policymaking.
