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
  • Mental Health Research
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Internalized stigma (self-stigma) in young adults with diverse mental health conditions is poorly understood.
  • Postsecondary students represent a vulnerable population experiencing significant mental health challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of self-stigma on recovery-related variables in postsecondary students.
  • To examine the role of negative cognitions in mediating the relationship between self-stigma and recovery outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Path and mediation analyses were employed.
  • The adapted Illness Identity model was used to assess interrelationships.
  • 166 postsecondary students with mental health conditions and probable PTSD provided baseline data.

Main Results:

  • Self-stigma showed significant associations with most recovery-related variables.
  • Self-stigma influenced negative cognitions, which in turn affected resilience and academic skill difficulty.
  • Negative cognitions mediated the link between self-stigma and both resilience and academic skill difficulty.

Conclusions:

  • Interventions addressing self-stigma are vital for postsecondary students with mental health conditions.
  • Understanding the pathways through which self-stigma affects recovery is essential for targeted support.
