Area of Science:

  • Mental Health Research
  • Journalism Education
  • Social Psychology

Background:

  • Mental health stigma among journalism students can influence reporting accuracy and public perception.
  • Educational interventions are crucial for addressing negative stereotypes and promoting sensitive coverage of mental illness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a contact-based educational symposium's effectiveness in reducing mental health-related stigma among journalism students.
  • To assess changes in students' attitudes, stereotypes, and social responsibility concerning mental illness.

Main Methods:

  • Pre- and post-intervention surveys administered to journalism students (n=89 pre, n=53 post).
  • Utilized a validated instrument measuring stereotypical content, social distance, and social responsibility (Cronbach's alpha =.74).
  • Assessed changes in stigma through aggregated scale scores and item-specific attributions.

Main Results:

  • A statistically significant reduction in overall mental health stigma was observed (5% decrease in aggregated scale score).
  • A notable improvement (26%) in reducing attributions of dangerousness and unpredictability associated with mental illness.
  • Most students reported changed views on mental illness and intended to alter reporting practices; however, 14% fewer reported willingness to seek professional help post-intervention.

Conclusions:

  • The contact-based symposium effectively altered journalism students' perceptions of individuals with mental illness.
  • The intervention shows promise in improving mental health reporting but highlights a potential negative impact on help-seeking behavior.
  • Further controlled studies are necessary to confirm findings and explore unintended consequences.
