Despite the high prevalence of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), no research has systematically studied the occurrence and effects of stigmatization by others towards NSSI scarring.
The current study measured implicit and explicit attitudes among undergraduates towards NSSI scarring using the implicit association test and questionnaires to compare implicit and explicit biases towards NSSI with biases towards tattoos, a culturally sanctioned form of self-determined marking, as well as nonintentional disfigurement.
Our study demonstrated strong negative implicit and explicit biases towards NSSI when comparing NSSI to tattoos and nonintentional disfigurement.
Results extend previous research describing stigma towards mental illness and suggest a large negative bias towards NSSI. The importance of studying how stigma affects those who bear scarring from NSSI is discussed.
尽管非自杀性自伤（NSSI）的患病率很高，但尚无研究系统地研究他人对 NSSI 疤痕的污名化的发生和影响。
本研究使用内隐联想测验和问卷来衡量大学生对 NSSI 疤痕的内隐和外显态度，以比较 NSSI 与纹身（一种文化认可的自我标记形式）以及非故意毁容之间的内隐和外显偏见。
与纹身和非故意毁容相比，我们的研究表明对 NSSI 存在强烈的消极内隐和外显偏见。
结果扩展了先前描述针对精神疾病的污名化的研究，并表明对 NSSI 存在较大的负面偏见。讨论了研究污名如何影响那些因 NSSI 而留下疤痕的人的重要性。
