A number of professional athletes have used social media to disclose personal experience with mental illness, including NBA All-Stars DeMar DeRozan and Kevin Love in 2018. The disclosures could serve to challenge the stigmatization of mental illness, given the positive social standing of professional athletes and the potential power of parasocial relationships in health promotion and behavior. The present study quantitatively examined 3,366 fan responses to the mental health disclosures of both athletes, unpacking the extent to which fan commentary perpetuated or challenged the stigmatization of depression and anxiety. Fans provided overwhelmingly positive response to the athletes’ mental health disclosures, creating a normative environment in which disclosure translated into acceptance rather than rejection. While more frequently offering messages of advice and strength to DeRozan, fans were more likely to offer messages of encouragement and personal experiences with mental illness to Love.

从#endthestigma到#realman:针对NBA球员心理健康披露的污名化社交媒体回应

许多职业运动员已经使用社交媒体披露了患有精神疾病的个人经历,包括2018年的NBA全明星球员DeMar DeRozan和Kevin Love。由于职业运动员的良好社会地位,这些披露可能会挑战精神病的污名化。以及超社会关系对健康促进和行为的潜在影响。本研究定量分析了3366名球迷对两名运动员的心理健康状况的反应,从而揭示了球迷评论对抑郁和焦虑的污名化的持久性或挑战性。粉丝们对运动员的心理健康披露给予了压倒性的积极回应,创造了一个规范的环境,在这种环境中,披露转化为接受而不是拒绝。
