Utilizing data from a cross-sectional community survey of 455 heterosexual couples in which at least one partner has a physical disability, we examine the associations between stigma and psychological distress for both partners. We also assess whether these associations are moderated by gender. Findings from an actor-partner interdependence model analysis reveal that personally experienced stigma and vicarious stigma experiences have additive effects on psychological distress, but only among women. We discuss how these findings extend a relational understanding of stigma and its effects and implications for research and practice.

重新审视“自己的”和“明智的”：夫妻之间的身体残疾、污名化和心理健康

我们利用对 455 对异性恋夫妇进行横断面社区调查的数据，其中至少有一个伴侣有身体残疾，我们研究了双方的耻辱感和心理困扰之间的关联。我们还评估这些关联是否受性别影响。演员-伴侣相互依赖模型分析的结果表明，个人经历的耻辱感和替代的耻辱感经历对心理困扰有累加作用，但仅限于女性。我们讨论这些发现如何扩展对污名及其对研究和实践的影响和影响的相关理解。
