ABSTRACT

This study examined public attitudes toward working alongside someone with Bipolar Disorder (BD). Participants (N = 618) randomized to a vignette completed the Attitudes toward Individuals with BD in the Workplace Scale assessing attitudes toward social acceptability, competency, reliability, advancement, and job demotion/loss. Multiple linear regressions found individuals with BD at work are viewed more positively when experiencing hypomania compared to depression (ps < .05). Additional factors associated with more positive attitudes included previous experience with BD and one’s own personal experience having BD (ps < .05). These findings may inform efforts to improve work outcomes for individuals with BD.

摘要

这项研究调查了公众对与躁郁症 (BD) 患者一起工作的态度。随机分配到小插图的参与者（N = 618）完成了工作场所量表中对患有 BD 的个体的态度，评估对社会可接受性、能力、可靠性、晋升和工作降级/失去的态度。多元线性回归发现，与抑郁症相比，在工作中患有 BD 的个体在经历轻躁狂时被更积极地看待（p s < .05）。与更积极态度相关的其他因素包括以前的 BD 经历和一个人自己的 BD 经历（p s < .05）。这些发现可能有助于改善 BD 患者的工作成果。
