Employees with a mental illness regularly encounter situations where they must make decisions regarding the extent to which they discuss their stigma. Past research has found links between positive disclosure experiences and positive well-being and job-related outcomes for the individual disclosing. However, research on stigma disclosure has not yet defined what differentiates a supportive response from an unsupportive one, and there is evidence to suggest that people are unsure of how to best respond to a disclosure. In a series of three studies, we sought to develop a better understanding of mental illness disclosure at work. First, we created a typology of supportive and unsupportive responses to disclosure via critical incidents gathered from working adults with a mental illness. Second, we surveyed working adults with and without a mental illness to examine if they perceive the supportiveness of responses differently. Third, in an experimental study, we examined which methods of disclosure are most effective in eliciting a supportive response. This work identifies several types of supportive (e.g., providing emotional support) and unsupportive (e.g., denial of symptoms) responses to mental illness disclosure and finds that individuals without a mental illness have a reasonable understanding of what an individual with a mental illness would also identify as supportive/unsupportive responses. We also find that downplaying one’s mental illness will likely lead to a less supportive response.

组织中的精神疾病披露:定义和预测(非)支持性反应

患有精神疾病的员工经常会遇到这样的情况,他们必须就他们讨论耻辱的程度做出决定。过去的研究发现,积极的披露经历与个人披露的积极幸福感和与工作相关的结果之间存在联系。然而,关于污名披露的研究尚未定义支持性回应与不支持性回应的区别,并且有证据表明人们不确定如何最好地回应披露。在一系列三项研究中,我们试图更好地了解工作中的精神疾病披露。首先,我们通过从患有精神疾病的在职成年人那里收集到的严重事件,创建了一种对披露的支持和不支持反应的类型。第二,我们对患有和未患有精神疾病的在职成年人进行了调查,以检查他们是否对回应的支持性有不同的看法。第三,在一项实验研究中,我们检查了哪些披露方法最能引起支持性反应。这项工作确定了对精神疾病披露的几种支持(例如,提供情感支持)和不支持(例如,否认症状)的反应,并发现没有精神疾病的人对患有精神疾病的人也会有什么合理的理解识别为支持/不支持的反应。我们还发现,对一个人的精神疾病轻描淡写可能会导致较少的支持反应。我们研究了哪种披露方法在引起支持性回应方面最有效。这项工作确定了对精神疾病披露的几种支持(例如,提供情感支持)和不支持(例如,否认症状)的反应,并发现没有精神疾病的人对患有精神疾病的人也会有什么合理的理解识别为支持/不支持的反应。我们还发现,对一个人的精神疾病轻描淡写可能会导致较少的支持反应。我们研究了哪种披露方法在引起支持性回应方面最有效。这项工作确定了对精神疾病披露的几种支持(例如,提供情感支持)和不支持(例如,否认症状)的反应,并发现没有精神疾病的人对患有精神疾病的人也会有什么合理的理解识别为支持/不支持的反应。我们还发现,对一个人的精神疾病轻描淡写可能会导致较少的支持反应。否认症状)对精神疾病披露的反应,并发现没有精神疾病的人对精神疾病患者也将其视为支持/不支持的反应有合理的理解。我们还发现,对一个人的精神疾病轻描淡写可能会导致较少的支持反应。否认症状)对精神疾病披露的反应,并发现没有精神疾病的人对精神疾病患者也将其视为支持/不支持的反应有合理的理解。我们还发现,对一个人的精神疾病轻描淡写可能会导致较少的支持反应。
