The aim of this study was to investigate the nature of the relationship between public causal beliefs and social distance from people with schizophrenia. Regression analysis of the results of a vignette-based opinion survey was conducted on a representative population sample in Erzincan (n = 856). The findings of this study suggest that there is a positive relationship between biological causal beliefs (i.e. 'brain and disease' and 'heredity') and social distance from people with schizophrenia. It would be premature to draw conclusions with regard to interventions aimed at reducing discrimination based on stigma. However, our study provides stimulus for reconsidering the assumptions underlying biological concepts among the public, which might not contribute to a desired reduction in social distance from people with schizophrenia.
本研究的目的是调查公众因果信念与对精神分裂症患者的社会距离之间关系的本质。对埃尔津詹一个具有代表性的人群样本（n = 856）进行了基于 vignette 的意见调查结果的回归分析。本研究结果表明，生物因果信念（即“大脑与疾病”和“遗传”）与对精神分裂症患者的社会距离之间存在正相关关系。就旨在减少基于污名的歧视的干预措施得出结论还为时过早。然而，我们的研究为重新考虑公众中生物概念背后的假设提供了动力，这些假设可能无助于实现与精神分裂症患者社会距离的理想缩短。
