A questionnaire was administered to two groups of medical students, one preclinical and the other clinical, to assess their career choices, opinions of six specialties (including internal medicine, general practice, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics and psychiatry as well as surgery) and anxieties about psychiatry. It was found that both groups of students conceptualized clinicians according to stereotypes which were modified but not abated by clinical exposure. Although the clinical students compared to preclinical students attributed more positive personality traits to psychiatrists, students interested in taking up careers in psychiatry were few in both groups. Compared to the preclinical class, clinical students were less worried about disturbed patients and emotional involvement with patients, but were more concerned about their deficiency in knowledge and skills relevant to psychiatry.
对两组医学生进行了问卷调查，一组是临床前学生，另一组是临床学生，以评估他们的职业选择、对六个专业（包括内科、全科医学、妇产科、儿科、精神病学以及外科）的看法以及对精神病学的焦虑。结果发现，两组学生都根据刻板印象来构想临床医生，这些刻板印象虽因临床接触而有所改变，但并未消除。与临床前学生相比，临床学生赋予精神科医生更多积极的人格特质，但两组中对从事精神病学职业感兴趣的学生都很少。与临床前班级相比，临床学生对精神错乱患者和与患者的情感投入不太担心，但更担心自己在与精神病学相关的知识和技能方面的不足。
