Personalized Normative Feedback for Stigma and Help-seeking

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Stigma, Social, Help-Seeking Behavior

In brief

People tend to care about what others think and often change our behaviors accordingly. But what if people do not have an accurate understanding of what others really think? Stigma is pervasive, especially in the Black and Asian American communities, which can prevent people from seeking help. This study explores whether correcting misperceptions (by showing what people really think) about depression and suicide can increase help-seeking behaviors among Black and Asian emerging adults who have untreated depression and suicidal thoughts.
