| Beschreibung: | Purpose
A pervasive and deeply entrenched stigma of personality disorders exists. For other mental disorders, a large body of research suggests that continuum beliefs (i.e., the endorsement of continuum perspectives on mental health and psychopathology) stimulate more favorable attitudes toward affected persons. Additionally, mental disorder classification systems increasingly incorporate continuous personality disorder models. Yet, it is unclear how continuum beliefs are related to personality disorder stigma. This study evaluated the link of continuum beliefs with personality disorder stigma based on correlational and experimental data. Methods A large general population sample (N = 848) completed self-report measures of continuum beliefs regarding personality disorders, desired social distance, and prejudice toward persons with personality disorders. Additionally, participants were randomly presented with information supporting a continuous or a dichotomous view of personality disorders. Results Continuum beliefs were associated with lower desired social distance (r = − 0.19) and prejudice (r = − 0.22). Additionally, the brief continuum intervention was associated with increased continuum beliefs (d = 0.99) and decreased desired social distance (d = − 0.14) and prejudice (d = − 0.17). Finally, the intervention effects on desired social distance and prejudice were mediated by continuum beliefs. Conclusion This study suggests that highlighting continuum views on personality disorders in public communication and interventions might reduce personality disorder stigma. | |||||||
