We examined 3 illness characteristics (STI type, control over transmission, target gender) and 3 observer characteristics (sexual attitudes, sexual experience, observer gender) characteristics. Undergraduates (N = 207) read 1 of 8 vignettes and provided ratings of enacted stigma, felt stigma, and attributions of blame. As predicte… Show more

“…In addition, the correlational nature of the data precludes the ability to make any causal claims about the relations among the revised TMIM's constructs, despite the theory's ability to provide a causal explanation. Relatedly, the self‐report nature of the data regarding such a sensitive and potentially stigmatized topic (Foster & Byers, ) presents the possibility of a social desirability bias in participants' responses. Further, the 2‐week time period separating the data collections may not have been enough to adequately capture information seeking and provision processes.…”

“…Stigma is associated with sexual health outcomes, such as sexually transmitted infections (STIs) (Foster & Byers, 2013;Balfe et al, 2010) and teenage pregnancy (SmithBattle, 2013;Weimann, Rickert, Berenson, & Volk, 2005) leading to worries about judgment, guilt, shame and rejection among those who experience it.
