Attitudes toward three types of disorders and a normal subject portrayed in vignettes were assessed among university students. The variables assessed were: perception of mental illness in the vignettes; desired social distance; emotional and physical burden expected; and expected negative influence on one's mental health from association with the type of persons portrayed in the vignettes. Analysis revealed that, in terms of variables assessed, the most "negative" ratings were recorded for the paranoid schizophrenic case and the most "positive" recorded for the normal subject. The simple schizophrenia and the anxiety neurosis/depression cases fell between the other two cases. Finally, with a few exceptions, all the variables assessed were significantly correlated with each other.

“…Prior homelessness would presumably be tied to more compassionate attitudes, partly by providing exposure to homeless persons and their diverse characteristics. However, because some older studies did not find differences in attitudes toward mental illness between former psychiatric patients and controls (Rabkin, 1972), a specific prediction was not made about links between prior homelessness and the ATHI.…”

This article includes four studies, which collectively provide preliminary validation for the 11‐item Attitudes Toward Homelessness Inventory (ATHI). Study 1 established that the ATHI has a valid, four‐factor structure when completed by college students. Study 2 replicated this factor structure in another sample of college students and also provided construct validity for the ATHI by showing that it was related in predicted ways with personality and other attitudinal variables. Study 3 replicated this factor structure and also revealed significant differences on the ATHI based on whether respondents had been previously homeless themselves. Finally, Study 4 provided predictive validity by showing that the ATHI could be used to gauge attitudinal change. Limitations, implications and suggestions for future applications of the ATHI were discussed. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

“…D'une part, l'âge est la variable relationnelle la plus stable retrouvée dans la plupart de ces recherches (Dear et Taylor, 1982 ;Livneh, 1988 ;Melanson-Ouellet, 1980 ;Rabkin, 1972 ;Yuker, 1988). D'autre part, tout comme dans les études de Côté, Ouellet et Lachance (1990) et Côté, Ouellet et Caron (1992, les célibataires sont reconnus comme étant les citoyens les plus sympathiques à l'égard des personnes avec une maladie mentale.…”

Cet article présente les résultats d'une étude s'intéressant à la relation entre l'expérience de contact avec dès personnes ayant une maladie mentale et la distance sociale exprimée à leur égard. L'échantillon est composé de 275 citoyens adultes de la région de Québec, qui se disent favorables à l'implantation d'une ressource résidentielle, dans leur voisinage immédiat, pour un groupe de deux à six personnes avec une maladie mentale. Les résultats révèlent une relation inversée entre le contact et la distance sociale. Cette relation est significative chez les deux sexes, chez les célibataires de 35 à 44 ans, les personnes mariées ou en union de fait de 45 à 54 ans et celles de 65 ans et plus. Ces sous-groupes présentent des expériences de contact plus fréquentes et plus diversifiées ainsi qu'une distance sociale exprimée plus faible. L'identification de segments cibles favorables dans la population permettra aux décideurs et responsables de la réinsertion sociale de mieux formuler et planifier des stratégies d'intervention différenciées plus efficaces pour le maintien d'une attitude de tolérance à l'égard de voisins avec une différence.
