Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to assess whether viewing expert witness evidence regarding the mental health of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard in the 2022 court case in the USA would affect viewers\' attitudes towards the mental health of the two protagonists and towards mental illness in general. After viewing excerpts of the cross-examination evidence, 38 trial-naive undergraduate students completed the Prejudice towards People with a Mental Illness (PPMI) scale.
RESULTS: Following viewing, participants held more stigmatising views of the protagonists than they held about mental disorders in general.
CONCLUSIONS: It is plausible that mass media trial coverage further stigmatises mental illness.
摘要:
目的:我们旨在评估在美国2022年法庭案件中查看关于约翰尼·德普和琥珀·希尔德精神健康的专家证人证据是否会影响观众对两位主角精神健康和总体精神疾病的态度。在查看了盘问证据的摘录后,38名幼稚的本科生完成了对精神疾病患者的偏见(PPMI)量表。
结果:查看后,参与者对主角的污名化观点比对一般精神障碍的观点更多。
结论:大众媒体试验报道进一步污名化精神疾病似乎是合理的。
