Explicit and implicit stigma towards peers with mental health problems in childhood and adolescence / Claire O’DRISCOLL in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 53-10 (October 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 53-10 (October 2012) . - p.1054-62 Titre : Explicit and implicit stigma towards peers with mental health problems in childhood and adolescence Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Claire O’DRISCOLL, Auteur ; Caroline HEARY, Auteur ; Eilis HENNESSY, Auteur ; Lynn MCKEAGUE, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.1054-62 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Stigma  mental health problems  implicit attitudes  attention deficit hyperactivity disorder  depression Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background:  Children and adolescents with mental health problems are widely reported to have problems with peer relationships; however, few studies have explored the way in which these children are regarded by their peers. For example, little is known about the nature of peer stigmatisation, and no published research has investigated implicit attitudes thus ensuring that stigma is not well understood. To address this issue, the current study explored patterns of explicit and implicit stigmatisation of peers with depression and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods:  The sample was 385 children (M = 10.21 years) and adolescents (M = 15.36 years). Participants completed a questionnaire assessing explicit stigma towards an age- and gender-matched peer with ADHD or depression and another peer with ‘normal issues’ who were described in vignettes. They also completed a modified version of the Implicit Association Test (IAT) that explored implicit attitudes towards the target peers. Results:  Questionnaire data indicated that the peer with ADHD was perceived more negatively than the peer with depression on all dimensions of stigma, except perceived dangerousness and fear. In contrast, the IAT findings suggest that some participants had more negative views of the peer with depression than the peer with ADHD. Specifically, the findings demonstrate that adolescent males demonstrated significantly stronger negative implicit evaluations of depression compared with younger males and adolescent females. Conclusions:  Children and adolescents demonstrate stigmatising responses to peers with common mental health problems. The nature and extent of these responses depends on the type of problem and the type of measurement used. The findings highlight the importance of using both explicit and implicit measures of stigma.

Factors associated with acceptance of peers with mental health problems in childhood and adolescence / Lorraine SWORDS in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 52-9 (September 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 52-9 (September 2011) . - p.933-941 Titre : Factors associated with acceptance of peers with mental health problems in childhood and adolescence Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lorraine SWORDS, Auteur ; Caroline HEARY, Auteur ; Eilis HENNESSY, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.933-941 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Peer acceptance  mental health problems  ADHD  depression Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background:  Research suggests that children’s reactions to peers with mental health problems are related to the maintenance and outcomes of these problems. However, children’s perceptions of such peers, particularly those with internalising problems, are neither well researched nor understood. The present study aimed to test a series of models relating socio-demographic and attributional variables to the acceptance of hypothetical boys and girls with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and depression. Methods:  A sample of 595 participants, drawn from five different age-groups spanning early childhood to late adolescence, completed a booklet of questions in response to two vignettes describing the behaviour of hypothetical target peers with depression and ADHD. The sample was drawn from schools randomly selected in the east of Ireland. Results:  The models indicated that age and gender of the participant, and the perceived responsibility of the target character for his/her condition, were the three most important predictors of acceptance in all models. However, the relationship between these variables and acceptance varied depending on the gender of the target child and the condition (depression or ADHD) in the models tested. Conclusions:  The findings of the study suggest that the relationships between socio-demographic and attributional variables and acceptance of peers with mental health problems depend on the type of mental health problem under consideration. The findings have implications for the development of information and education programmes to improve the integration of children with mental health problems.
