Ethnic and racial differences in the stigma associated with mental illness in the general population were examined through secondary analysis of data from a survey of a nationally representative sample (N = 1,468) on attitudes toward homeless and homeless mentally ill people. American Indian (1 percent of the sample), Asian-Pacific Islander (1.5 percent), black (10 percent), and Hispanic respondents (4 percent) were compared with white respondents (82 percent) to determine if the groups differed in their perception of the dangerousness of mental patients and if contact with mentally ill persons moderated ethnic and racial differences in perceptions of dangerousness. Asian and Hispanic respondents perceived mental patients as significantly more dangerous than did white respondents. Increased contact with mentally ill people was associated with lower levels of perceived dangerousness among white respondents but not among black respondents.
通过对一项关于对无家可归者和患有精神疾病的无家可归者态度的全国代表性样本（N = 1468）调查数据的二次分析，研究了普通人群中与精神疾病相关的耻辱感的种族差异。将美洲印第安人（占样本的1%）、亚太岛民（1.5%）、黑人（10%）和西班牙裔受访者（4%）与白人受访者（82%）进行比较，以确定这些群体在对精神病患者危险性的认知上是否存在差异，以及与精神病患者的接触是否会缓和对危险性认知的种族差异。亚洲和西班牙裔受访者认为精神病患者比白人受访者更危险。与精神病患者接触的增加与白人受访者较低的危险性认知水平相关，但与黑人受访者无关。
