Research in the area of public stigma and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is limited to examining stigmatic beliefs towards persons aged 65 and over (i.e., persons with late-onset dementia). The aim of the present study was to compare college students’ stigmatic attributions towards an older and a younger person with AD, using an attributional model of stigma. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 375 college students (mean age = 25.5, 58.9% female, 64.3% Jewish) who answered a computerized, self-administered, structured questionnaire after being presented with one of two randomly distributed vignettes varying in the age of the person with AD – 80 or 50 years of age. Cognitive, emotional and behavioral attributions of stigma were assessed using an adapted version of the Attribution Questionnaire. Other variables examined included background information, experiences and concerns about developing AD. T-tests and Ordinary Least Square (OLS) hierarchical regressions were used to analyze results. Similar to previous studies, students’ levels of dementia stigma were low to moderate. Negative attributions were consistently and significantly higher (β = .17 to .33, p < .01), and positive attributions were significantly lower (β = −.26, p < .01) when the target person was younger rather than older. The differences in stigmatic beliefs towards a younger and older person with AD point to the theoretical and practical importance of clearly stating the age of the target person in stigma studies as well as in programs aimed at reducing public stigma towards persons with AD.

痴呆症发病年龄对大学生对痴呆症患者的歧视性归因的影响

公众耻辱和阿尔茨海默氏病(AD)领域的研究仅限于检查针对65岁及65岁以上人群(即患有迟发性痴呆的人群)的歧视性信仰。本研究的目的是使用污名的归因模型,比较大学生对AD老年人和年轻人的偏见归因。对375名大学生(平均年龄25.5,女性58.9%,犹太人64.3%)进行了横断面研究,他们在回答了年龄不同的两个随机分布的小插曲之一后,回答了计算机化,自行管理的结构化问卷患有AD的人– 80或50岁。使用归因调查表的改编版评估耻辱的认知,情感和行为归因。研究的其他变量包括背景信息,经验和对发展AD的关注。使用T检验和普通最小二乘(OLS)等级回归分析结果。与以前的研究相似,学生的痴呆症耻辱水平从低到中等。当目标人群年龄较小而不是年龄较大时,负归因始终如一且显着较高(β= .17至.33,p <.01),而正向归因显着较低(β= -.26,p <.01)。对患有AD的年轻人和老年人的偏见信念上的差异表明,在耻辱研究以及旨在减少公众对AD患者的耻辱的计划中,明确说明目标人群的年龄在理论和实践上都很重要。使用T检验和普通最小二乘(OLS)层次回归分析结果。与以前的研究相似,学生的痴呆症耻辱水平从低到中等。当目标人群年龄较小而不是年龄较大时,负归因始终如一且显着较高(β= .17至.33,p <.01),而正向归因显着较低(β= -.26,p <.01)。对患有AD的年轻人和老年人的偏见信念的差异表明,在耻辱研究以及旨在减少公众对AD患者的耻辱的计划中,明确说明目标人群的年龄在理论和实践上都很重要。使用T检验和普通最小二乘(OLS)等级回归分析结果。与以前的研究相似,学生的痴呆症耻辱水平从低到中等。当目标人群年龄较小而不是年龄较大时,负归因始终如一且显着较高(β= .17至.33,p <.01),而正向归因显着较低(β= -.26,p <.01)。对患有AD的年轻人和老年人的偏见信念上的差异表明,在耻辱研究以及旨在减少公众对AD患者的耻辱的计划中,明确说明目标人群的年龄在理论和实践上都很重要。当目标人群年龄较小而不是年龄较大时,负归因始终如一且显着较高(β= .17至.33,p <.01),而正向归因显着较低(β= -.26,p <.01)。对患有AD的年轻人和老年人的偏见信念上的差异表明,在耻辱研究以及旨在减少公众对AD患者的耻辱的计划中,明确说明目标人群的年龄在理论和实践上都很重要。当目标人群年龄较小而不是年龄较大时,负归因始终如一且显着较高(β= .17至.33,p <.01),而正向归因显着较低(β= -.26,p <.01)。对患有AD的年轻人和老年人的偏见信念上的差异表明,在耻辱研究以及旨在减少公众对AD患者的耻辱的计划中,明确说明目标人群的年龄在理论和实践上都很重要。
