Currently, there is a paucity of literature on stigmatization of adults with Asperger's Disorder (AD). Therefore, this study examined whether young adults hold stigmatizing views towards individuals with AD and if that stigmatization is elicited by behaviors or labels. College students (N = 195) read one of six vignettes. A modified Social Distance Scale (Link et al. 1987) was used to assess stigmatization. A 2 × 3 analysis of variance revealed that the social behaviors commonly observed in AD significantly impacted stigmatization scores, while the label, "Asperger's Disorder," did not. These findings have important implications for future research, educating the public, providing support services, and treatment recommendations for individuals with AD.
目前，针对成年阿斯伯格综合征（AD）患者污名化的文献十分匮乏。因此，本研究旨在调查青年群体是否对 AD 患者持有污名化观点，以及这种污名化是否是由行为或标签所引起的。研究共纳入 195 名大学生，他们阅读了六个情景案例中的其中一个。使用改良的社会距离量表（Link 等人，1987 年）评估污名化程度。2×3 方差分析显示，AD 患者常见的社会行为显著影响了污名化评分，而标签“阿斯伯格综合征”则没有。这些发现对未来的研究、公众教育、支持服务以及 AD 患者的治疗建议具有重要意义。
