Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

38.0K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Social Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Stigma surrounding Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in young adults is a significant concern.
  • The origins of this stigma, whether stemming from the diagnostic label or observable behaviors, remain debated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the primary drivers of ADHD stigma in college students.
  • To compare the stigma associated with ADHD behaviors versus the ADHD label.
  • To compare stigma levels between ADHD and Depression in young adults.

Main Methods:

  • Phase 1 involved 135 college students rating stigma towards fictitious partners with ADHD labels, behaviors, both, or neither.
  • Phase 2 involved 48 college students rating stigma towards fictitious partners with ADHD or Depression labels and associated behaviors.

Main Results:

  • In Phase 1, ADHD stigma correlated with behaviors, not the label alone.
  • In Phase 2, ADHD and Depression exhibited comparable levels of stigma when associated behaviors were present.

Conclusions:

  • ADHD-related behaviors, rather than the diagnostic label, are more strongly associated with stigma in young adults.
  • ADHD and Depression carry similar stigma burdens when accompanied by characteristic behaviors.
