“…Notwithstanding concerns voiced about the negative effects of labelling, providing lay people with an ID label in the current study was associated with reduced stugma. Similar to a a recent study of people with ID with/without comorbid schizophrenia, those informed of the diagnostic label were more positive towards social contact than those who provided their own, potentially more stigmatising explanations for the person's behaviour [5]. Labelling was also associated with increased endorsement of biomedical causes and reduced endorsement of environmental causes.…”

“…This has a direct negative effect on their quality of life and possibility for participation, contradicting the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities by the United Nations (UN-CRPD) [4]. Stigma towards people with ID is considered to be understudied [5], thus, to tackle prejudice and stigma, it's important to learn more about the nature of stigma and its presentations towards people with ID.…”

Article 8 of the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities requires governments around the globe to raise awareness on issues of disability in their societies, combatting stereotypes, prejudices and harmful practices. Little comparative data is available on lay people's social representations of intellectual disability and associated stigma, which could inform actions in line with the convention. The present study compared intellectual disability literacy and stigma among adults in the general population in the UK, Austria and Germany (N = 1046), and examined the effects of providing an intellectual disability label on these outcomes. Although participants came from highly developed European countries and prior contact with people with intellectual disabilities was common, the findings pointed to some striking differences between countries. Participants in Austria and Germany were much less likely than those in the UK to identify symptoms of a possible intellectual disability in an unlabelled vignette. They were also much more hostile towards social contact, a difference that was maintained when participants were informed of the intellectual disability label. Labelling showed controversial effects on stigma, both in its effects on social distance and on beliefs about suitable causes and interventions. Overall, the social acceptance of people with intellectual disabilities appears to be much less advanced in Austria and Germany than in the UK, and awareness of intellectual disability much lower, indicating a need for action at societal level.

“…Additionally, schizophrenia was chosen because of its tendency to elicit polarizing reactions regarding the manifestation and lived experiences of the disorder. Specifically, research has found that the diagnosis of schizophrenia tends to evoke higher levels of stigma and a greater desire for social distancing among the general population than other types of mental illness (Jorm & Oh, 2009; Rasdale et al, 2018; Thompson et al, 2002; Webb et al, 2009). In addition, people with schizophrenia are generally seen as more dangerous, unpredictable, and capable of violence than individuals with other diagnoses (Jorm et al, 2012).…”

Practicing mental health counselors and counselors‐in‐training (N = 251) were given a measure of tolerance toward people with schizophrenia. Half of the sample received a version that used the term “schizophrenic” and half received a version that used “person with schizophrenia.” Counselors and those in training who received the version with the term “schizophrenic” had attitudes that were more authoritarian, more socially restrictive, and less benevolent. Practicing counselors and counseling students were both affected by terminology, although there were greater differences in tolerance based on language for practicing counselors. The results of this study provide the first empirical evidence for the elimination of the term “schizophrenic” from clinical practice.

An examination of perceptions of individuals with an intellectual disability, with and without co‐morbid schizophrenia: effects of labels on stigma

Abstract: Labels resulted in positive outcomes, particularly, when ID was co-morbid with schizophrenia. Schizophrenia stigma appears to be impacted by an ID label, indicating educating the public about the spectrum of co-morbidity may be useful.
