High impact information on Social Distance

  • METHOD: Selective review including attitude surveys assessing social distance towards different diagnostic labels, and attitudes towards treatment professions, treatment strategies, and psychopharmacotherapy [1].
  • The instruments used to measure attitudes were a shortened form of the Californian attitudes towards mental illness scale (CAMI scale) and a social distance scale [2].
  • Stereotype content and social distance: changing views of homosexuality [3].
  • A figure-placement procedure was used to assess attitudes toward mental patients and related items by measuring projected social distances which students from Australia, Great Britain, South Africa, and the U.S.A. perceived between themselves and several pertinent stimuli [4].
