The paper examines the perception of stigma in 43 adults with an intellectual disability, the relationship this has with their psychological well-being and whether the process of social comparison has a moderating effect on this relationship.
A questionnaire-based, within-participant design was used. Participants completed three self-report measures of perception of stigma, self-esteem and social comparison.
Perception of stigma was found to be significantly related to negative social comparisons, which in turn was significantly related to low self-esteem. No difference was found between social comparisons made with other service users and those made with people in the community. Social comparison was not found to have a moderating effect on the relationship between stigma and self-esteem.
This study provides support for the influence of the perception of stigma and social comparison on the self-concept of individuals with an intellectual disability.
本文研究了 43 名成年智障人士对污名的感知，这种感知与他们的心理健康的关系，以及社会比较过程对这种关系是否具有调节作用。
采用基于问卷的参与者内设计。参与者完成了三项自我报告的污名感知、自尊和社会比较的测量。
发现污名感知与负面社会比较显著相关，而负面社会比较又与低自尊显著相关。与服务使用者进行的社会比较与与社区中的人进行的社会比较之间没有差异。社会比较没有发现对污名和自尊之间关系的调节作用。
本研究支持了污名感知和社会比较对智障人士自我概念的影响。
