“…In order to overcome such a limitation, in this study, a vignette approach was used to examine the validity of the expected latent structure characterised by schizophrenia indicators, namely, social distance, dangerousness and avoidance as perceived by four different groups of people, together with causal beliefs and recommended treatments [46].

Moreover, the gender of the vignette protagonist was counterbalanced across participants.…”
