When the lay public is asked to prioritize their causal beliefs for a vignette depicting either schizophrenia or depression, psychosocial causes are most popular for depression, but a large proportion of respondents prefers biological causes for schizophrenia. Recognition of the vignette as mental illness enhances the likelihood to endorse brain disease as a cause and reduces choices of certain psychosocial causes.
当让普通大众对描述精神分裂症或抑郁症的短文按其因果信念进行优先级排序时,心理社会原因在抑郁症中最受欢迎,但很大一部分受访者更倾向于将生物学原因作为精神分裂症的病因。将短文识别为精神疾病会增加认可脑部疾病为病因的可能性,并减少对某些心理社会原因的选择。
