چکیده
Implicit theories and biases continue to be large obstacles in the attainment of adequate mental health services for those with mental illness. Mind-body dualism is a theoretical construct which claims the independence of the mind from the body and which may influence some of these biases. We hypothesized that dualistic views may lead people to hold greater stigma toward those with mental illness, as well as greater internalized stigma and differential treatment behaviors for those with mental illness, themselves. Study 1 measured the relationship between mind-body dualism and stigma variables and found that dualism was positively associated with blame. A second study primed participants with either dualistic or physicalistic theories but found no effect on stigma. The correlational findings from Study 1 were also not replicated. Study 3 targeted participants with a reported diagnosis of mental illness, and found no consistent relationship between mind-body theories and self-stigma or treatment behaviors. Interpreting from null findings must be done with caution; nevertheless these results show no reliable or homogenous relationship between this theory of mind-body dualism and mental health service selection or stigma.
