	abstract = {OBJECTIVE: This study examined hypotheses that stigmatizing attitudes are
increased by use of psychiatric labels, by conceptualization of symptoms
as a medical illness and by belief in genetic causes. METHOD: A survey of
3998 Australian adults asked questions about one of four vignettes: early
schizophrenia, chronic schizophrenia, depression and depression with
suicidal thoughts. Attitudes were measured by a social distance scale and
a question about likely dangerousness. RESULTS: Social distance was
unrelated to the hypothesized factors. For schizophrenia (but not
depression), belief in dangerousness was predicted by medical illness
conceptualizations and genetic causal attribution. However, more important
factors were the behaviours in the vignette and the belief that they are
because of weakness of character. CONCLUSION: Biomedical
conceptualizations are not the major cause of stigma, rather it is the
behaviour associated with mental illness and the belief that this is
because of personal weakness.},
