dc.description.abstractThe present study examined the relationship between individual differences and mental disorder stigma ratings prior to an intervention, as well as directly following and one week after a mental disorder stigma intervention took place. A knowledge-based anti-stigma intervention and a contact-based anti-stigma intervention were also compared to a control group, in order to determine whether these relationships between stigma and individual difference variables would vary based on the type of intervention provided. Data was collected from 152 post-secondary students on their ratings of the HEXACO personality inventory, modern prejudice towards individuals with mental illnesses, intergroup anxiety, empathy, perspective taking, Right Wing Authoritarianism, Social Dominance Orientation, and mental disorder stigma. Results indicated that mental disorder stigma was related to each of the individual difference variables prior to participants receiving the intervention. Changes in mental disorder stigma ratings directly following the anti-stigma interventions, as well as one week later suggest that individual differences may play a role in the type of mental disorder stigma interventions that are most effective for different individuals. These findings and their implications for future research are discussed.en_US
