“…In terms of closeness to people with mental health problems, studies report a tendency to stigmatise less in the case of those who have had some kind of contact with mental health. In the general population, knowing someone with psychological problems is associated with better attitudes, lower levels of authoritarianism, less stereotyping, and less desire for social distance Barroso-Hurtado & Mendo-Lázaro, 2018). In a study among high school students, those who had no previous contact showed significantly higher scores on fear and segregation attitudes (García-Soriano & Roncero, 2017).…”

“…Regarding the participants, most articles deal with samples of the general population (Aznar-Lou et al, 2016;García-Galindo et al, 2012;González-Sanguino et al, 2019;Lahera et al, 2019;Mogollón-Rodríguez et al, 2014;Olafsdottir & Pescosolido, 2011;Ruiz et al, 2012), nursing or medical health professionals (Aragonès et al, 2011;Castillejos-Anguiano et al, 2019;García-Galindo et al, 2012;Guerrero-Díaz et al, 2021), mental health professionals (Del Olmo-Romero et al, 2019) or university students in health degrees (Failde et al, 2014;González-Sanguino et al, 2019;Granados-Gámez et al, 2016;Masedo et al, 2021;O'Ferrall-González et al, 2020;Rodríguez-Almagro et al, 2019) or other degrees (Barroso-Hurtado & Mendo-Lázaro, 2018;Gallego et al, 2020). There are also studies with family members of people with a diagnosis (Ahmedani et al, 2013;Domínguez-Martínez et al, 2014;Revilla et al, 2010) and people with mental health problems (Domínguez-Martínez et al, 2014;García-Galindo et al, 2012;Muñoz et al, 2011).…”

Social Stigma Towards Mental Health Problems in Spain: A Systematic Review

et al. 2023

Stigma towards psychological problems is an ongoing issue that negatively affects people living with these circumstances, diminishing their quality of life and well-being. This stigma can even aggravate the symptomatology itself and hinder the recovery process (Corrigan et al., 2012;Del Rosal et al., 2020;Livingston & Boyd, 2010).The Mental Illness Stigma Framework (MISF) (Fox et al., 2018) conceptualises stigma towards mental health problems from two perspectives: that of the person who stigmatises and that of the stigmatised person. The conceptual cores of the stigmatiser, which make up social stigma, refer to stereotypes (cognitive dimension), prejudice (affective dimension), and discrimination (behavioural dimension) (Corrigan & Watson, 2002). Therefore, social stigma occurs when the general population, based on their shared beliefs about the illness and the negative emotions it generates, acts in a discriminatory manner towards people with psychological problems. From the perspective of the stigmatised person, meanwhile, there is internalised stigma, resulting from the internalisation and selfapplication of these prejudices and stereotypes, as well as from the discriminatory experiences lived (Livingston & Boyd, 2010). Finally, as a common element in both prisms, there is structural stigma, which limits the opportunities of people with psychological problems at institutional, political and legal levels (Fox et al., 2018).

“…It could be thought that knowledge or contact alone would not be enough to reduce stigma. In fact, there are authors who claim that offering information without strategies aimed at contact can increase stigma instead of decreasing it (Fresán et al, 2012), while other authors find that prior contact would generate a change in opinion towards people with mental disorders if it is established when they have already received or are receiving training related to mental health (Barroso-Hurtado & Mendo-Lázaro, 2018). This is why it would be necessary to design intervention programmes that include both variables.…”

Knowledge about mental health problems and previous contact are key variables in the fight against stigma. The aims of the study were: (1) to explore the level of stigma associated with mental disorders in students of different university degrees, and (2) to analyze the evolution of stigma in psychology students. Two groups completed the Attribution Questionnaire (AQ-27). Group 1 consisted of 392 first-year students of the different degrees evaluated (Mage= 18.59 years, SD= 1.29, 60% female), and group 2 consisted of 152 third-year Psychology undergraduates (Mage= 24.35 years, SD= 8.97, 73.4% female). Group 1 students with previous contact with mental disorders showed fewer stigmatizing attitudes. Differences were observed according to grade level. Group 2 showed lower levels of stigma throughout the academic year. The results support the effectiveness that mental health education and awareness-raising interventions through contact with people with mental health problems can have in reducing stigma.

“…Various works of research have proved that there exist differences in the attitudes towards persons with a disability with respect to the condition of having contact with them or not [19,51,52]. It is with good reason that programs aimed at changing attitudes to disability stress contact with persons with a disability in order to achieve a positive change in the evaluation of terms referring to persons with a disability and, consequently, in attitudes towards them [31,53].…”

“…On the other hand, some studies examined the effect that contact with disabled people would have on attitudes, in the sense of generating more positive attitudes towards persons with a disability [30]. On the basis of Allport's Contact Theory [7], numerous authors have pointed out the influence of strategies based on social contact and education when generating positive attitudes and reducing the stigmatization of persons with a disability [31].…”

The purpose of this article is to create and validate a brief instrument to evaluate attitudes towards persons with disabilities among the adolescent population between 12 and 16 years of age. Disability is currently understood from a contextual perspective (ecological model of disability), as the interaction of a person with her/his surroundings. As part of this interaction, the negative attitudes and expectations towards those with disabilities is still a reason for analysis, as it constitutes one of the main barriers to their inclusion in society. The evaluation of these attitudes in different age groups, using new analytical tools and instruments, is essential for the subsequent design and implementation of intervention measures in order to reverse the said attitudes and improve the collective’s place in society. In this study, there were 1282 participants, students between 12 and 16 years of age. A random selection was carried out, choosing fourteen educational centers in order to analyze the students’ attitudes towards persons with disabilities. The final result was the creation of the CBAD-12A questionnaire, made up of 12 Likert-type items, grouped into three factors: acceptance/rejection, competence/limitation, and equal opportunities. It has been demonstrated that the questionnaire possesses adequate psychometric characteristics, providing research with a new instrument to measure attitudes towards disability. The said questionnaire is useful as a diagnostic and/or predictive measure, allowing us to discover and generate interventions aimed at improving the attitudes of the adolescent population towards those with a disability.
