In a study designed to examine correlates of cancer-related stigma, 405 college students were assigned randomly to listen to an audiotaped interview in which the target's cancer type and smoking status were manipulated. In the lung cancer conditions, target gender also was manipulated. Social distance and emotional responses differed according to participant gender, death anxiety, and target cancer type. Participant gender and target characteristics also were associated with perceptions of the target's character. Findings partially support terror management theory and suggest that death attitudes, gender norms, and diagnostic status influence social distancing from individuals with cancer.
在一项旨在研究癌症相关污名的关联因素的研究中,405名大学生被随机分配去收听一段录音采访,其中对受访者的癌症类型和吸烟状况进行了操控。在肺癌情境中,还对受访者的性别进行了操控。社会距离和情绪反应因参与者的性别、死亡焦虑以及受访者的癌症类型而异。参与者的性别和受访者的特征也与对受访者性格的认知有关。研究结果部分支持了恐惧管理理论,并表明死亡态度、性别规范和诊断状况会影响与癌症患者的社会距离。
