Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a chronic disease with the hallmark symptom of post-exertional malaise. Evidence for physiological causes is converging, however, currently no diagnostic test or biomarker is available. People with ME/CFS experience stigmatization, including the perception that the disease is psychosomatic. In a sample of 499 participants with self-diagnosed ME/CFS, we investigated perceived stigma as a pathway through which perceived others' causal attributions relate to lower satisfaction with social roles and activities and functional status. Higher perceived attributions by others to controllable and unstable causes predicted lower health-related and social outcomes via higher perceived stigma.
肌痛性脑脊髓炎/慢性疲劳综合征（ME/CFS）是一种慢性病，其标志症状是运动后不适。目前虽然有越来越多的证据表明其具有生理病因，但尚无诊断测试或生物标志物。ME/CFS 患者会受到歧视，包括人们认为这种疾病是心身疾病。在一个由 499 名自我诊断为 ME/CFS 的参与者组成的样本中，我们研究了感知到的污名化，作为感知到的他人归因与对社会角色和活动的满意度降低以及功能状态相关的途径。他人将更多的可控和不稳定的原因归因于 ME/CFS，通过更高的感知污名化，预测了更低的健康相关和社会结果。
