“…Because social support provision is voluntary in Western culture, the level of support might influence how the support receiver evaluates self. If the level of support is high, the support receiver might have a better sense of self [32]. Hence, high social support might prevent a person from adopting the public's view to evaluate oneself and lead to a low internalized stigma.…”

“…The level of internalized stigma is determined by the degree to which a person endorses public belief of mental illness and applies the belief in evaluating self-worthiness [30,31]. A person's self-evaluation is intricately embedded in his/her actual social experience [32,33]. Accordingly, if a person with mental illness perceives high social support, the degree to which this person adopts the public's view on mental illness to evaluate the self might be low because of the actual positive social experience.…”

This study aimed to investigate the relationships of family emotional support and negative family interactions with the quality of life among Chinese people with mental illness. Furthermore, it examined the mediating role of internalized stigma in these relationships. One hundred and twenty-five Chinese adults with mental illness were recruited from community mental health service centers in Hong Kong. The results show that both family emotional support and negative family interactions were related to the quality of life. Negative family interactions had a stronger effect on the quality of life compared to family emotional support. Internalized stigma partially mediated the relationship between negative family interactions and the quality of life. These findings suggest that, for Chinese people with mental illness, interventions aimed at promoting quality of life should consider enhancing family emotional support and reducing negative family interactions. In addition, mental health service providers could consider using family approaches to address internalized stigma in the effort of improving the quality of life for their service users.

This study reports on findings from 25 semi-structured, individual interviews with participants with visual, hearing, or mobility disabilities in India focusing on stigmatization and resilience, and how they are constructed within Indian sociocultural contexts. Participants’ experiences of disability and stigmatization were alleviated or exacerbated by sociocultural issues, including socioeconomic status, caste, and gender hierarchy. A lack of family support and access to education further reinforced stigmatization. The case from India underscores the importance of addressing these intersectional issues, as well as stigmatization and resilience, to comprehensively support individuals with disabilities. Implications for practice, disability policies, theories, and research are discussed.

Purpose This study aims to examine the factors that influence the adoption of social media to meet the service needs of persons with disabilities. Design/methodology/approach This study outlines the social media adoption model in disability services by using theories of persons with disabilities’ resistance, extreme-ableist expressions and exploit-ecological theories. A questionnaire survey is conducted among citizens who participate in disability-related activities. Findings The adoption of social media is influenced by disability norms, administrative and platform support. Emerging trends, such as disability politics and inclusion, are inconsequential. Research limitations/implications Results implicate that frequent sharing of disability rights perspectives and awareness initiatives can enhance social media platforms for disability services. Practical implications In regional disability services, the scope of social media is hampered by a lack of reporting capabilities and a paucity of digital content sensitive to disability. Originality/value The disability interest group reported less specialised services enabled by social media from developing nations. The current study addresses this research gap.
