Stigmatizing attitudes against anorexia nervosa (AN) may act as barriers to treatment.
Evaluated college students' perceptions of AN as compared to major depressive disorder (MDD).
One-hundred two female undergraduates read vignettes describing targets with mild or severe MDD or AN, then rated biological, vanity, and self-responsibility attributions; feelings of admiration, sympathy, and anger; and behavioral dispositions toward coercion into treatment, imitation, and social distance.
AN was perceived more negatively than MDD in terms of vanity attributions, self-responsibility attributions, and feelings of anger, but more positively in terms of admiration and imitation.
This research demonstrates stigma-related mixed messages received by individuals with AN, which might be useful in improving eating disorders mental health literacy.
对神经性厌食症（AN）的污名化态度可能成为治疗的障碍。
评估大学生对AN与重度抑郁症（MDD）的认知。
102名女大学生阅读描述患有轻度或重度MDD或AN的对象的短文，然后对生物学、虚荣和自我责任归因；钦佩、同情和愤怒的感受；以及对强制治疗、模仿和社交距离的行为倾向进行评分。
在虚荣归因、自我责任归因和愤怒感受方面，AN比MDD的认知更负面，但在钦佩和模仿方面更正面。
本研究表明AN患者接收到与污名相关的混合信息，这可能有助于提高饮食失调心理健康素养。
