Abstract
Undergraduates in 3 introductory psychology courses participated in teaching interventions designed to reduce mental illness stigma. Expanding on previous research, the researchers tested the effects of education, video, and contact interventions. Results of the pretest and posttest scores on a social distance measure revealed a statistically significant reduction in social distancing for the contact intervention. The researchers emphasize the use of stigma-reducing pedagogies in teaching psychopathology to undergraduates.
