Stigma toward people with mental disorders is frequently studied yet less is known about prejudice toward persons with tic disorders, especially sufferers of Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome (GTS). We examined stigmatizing attributions concerning a GTS patient in an online study with participants randomly assigned to one of two video clip conditions: the experimental group saw to a person with Tourette syndrome; the control group watched a nature scenic footage. Results revealed that participants in the experimental condition exhibited higher scores on a stigma questionnaire. Clinicians should be aware that GTS patients are prone to being stigmatized by general public.
人们经常研究对精神障碍患者的污名化，但对 tic 障碍患者（尤其是 Gilles de la Tourette 综合征 [GTS] 患者）的偏见知之甚少。我们在一项在线研究中检查了与 GTS 患者有关的污名化归因，参与者被随机分配到两个视频剪辑条件之一：实验组观看了一名患有图雷特综合征的人；对照组观看了自然风景片段。结果表明，实验组的参与者在污名问卷上的得分更高。临床医生应该意识到，普通公众更容易对 GTS 患者产生污名化。
