Relationship of the Media to Attitudes toward People with Mental Illness.
Granello, Darcy Haag; Pauley, Pamela S.; Carmichael, Ann
Journal of Humanistic Counseling, Education and Development, v38 n2 p98-110 Dec 1999
Reports on results of Community Attitudes Toward Mentally Ill questionnaire given to undergraduates. Significant differences emerged on subscales based ranking of primary source of information about mental illness. Results do not imply causality but rather that electronic media is powerful mechanism for spreading the stigma of mental illness. (Author/JDM)
