In this study, we examine the relationships among reflected appraisals, self-views, and well-being for individuals diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness. We also test a perceptual control model of identity to determine whether discrepancies between stigmatized reflected appraisals and stigmatized self-views are associated with self-evaluation (self-esteem and self-efficacy) and psychological distress (depressive symptoms). We find that stigmatized self-views are significantly associated with lower self-esteem and self-efficacy and higher levels of depressive symptoms. Stigmatized reflected appraisals are also associated with lower self-efficacy and higher depressive symptoms but are not associated with self-esteem. As predicted, discrepancies between reflected appraisals and self-views are associated with lower levels of self-efficacy and higher levels of depressive symptoms; however, we do not find a relationship between identity discrepancy and self-esteem. We discuss the implications of our findings for identity and stigma research.

心理疾病作为一种污名化的身份

在这项研究中，我们检查了被诊断患有严重和持续性精神疾病的个体的评价，自我看法和幸福感之间的关系。我们还测试了身份的知觉控制模型，以确定污名化的评价与污名化的自我看法之间的差异是否与自我评价（自尊和自我效能感）和心理困扰（抑郁症状）相关。我们发现被污名化的自我看法与较低的自尊和自我效能以及较高水平的抑郁症状显着相关。污名化的评估也与较低的自我效能感和较高的抑郁症状相关，但与自尊无关。如预期的那样 自我评价和自我评价之间的差异与较低的自我效能感和较高的抑郁症状有关；但是，我们发现身份差异和自尊之间没有关系。我们讨论了我们的发现对身份和污名研究的意义。
