SOC 185 Exam 2
Criticisms of the Labeling Theory - correct answer ✔Critics of the theory
attested that many of the theory's specified propositions were not supported
by the research


What new approach did the criticism of labeling theory lead to - correct
answer ✔- It lead to the introduction of the Modified Labeling Approach,
which related the labeling process to stigma and has become widely accepted
for understanding stigma and its impact on mental health


What is another name for the labeling theory? - correct answer ✔Social
Reaction Theory


Social Reaction Theory - correct answer ✔- Focuses on the linguistic
tendency of majority groups to negatively label minority groups or those seen
as deviant from our societal norms
- It is inaccurate because the vast majority of people that are recognized as
mentally ill have serious mental health issues and its only when the situation
becomes serious is when action is taken; many people who seek help
themselves are screened out by professionals and are not labeled. It suggests
that any mental health issue would lead to hospitalization but that does not
happen


Gove: What does the evidence suggest about behavior and expectations? -
correct answer ✔- people's behavior determine other people's expectations
rather than expectations determining behavior


Link et al.: what does this piece examine - correct answer ✔- The authors
examine whether stigmatization affects the social support networks of patients
officially labeled

,- They offer the model for understanding how the stigmatization of the mental
patient status can have harmful consequences


Link et al.: When is the label assumed/designated? - correct answer ✔- The
label becomes true and valid by virtue of contact with a mental health
professional


Link et al/: what groups did this piece study? - correct answer ✔- Psychiatric
patients experiencing their first treatment contact
- Current psychiatric patients with repeated treatment contacts
- Community residents who report having been in treatment who are not
currently in treatment
- Community residents who are classified as untreated cases based on
systematic evaluations of the symptomatology
- "Well" community residents who show no evidence of severe pathology and
have no history of treatment


What is Stigma? - correct answer ✔- An attribute that is deeply discrediting
and that reduces the bearer from a whole and usual person to a tainted
discounted one
- Stigma is a set of negative beliefs and prejudices about a group of people,
as well as negative behaviors towards groups of people


How does Stigma Affect People? - correct answer ✔- People living with
mental illnesses often face stigma; this can occur when people do not
understand mental illnesses and as a result treat people living with mental
illnesses as outcasts or may think that they are dangerous


What does stigma look like? - correct answer ✔- Stigma can exist within
societies, institutions, cultures, and individuals, including people who are living
with mental illness themselves (this is called self-stigma)

, What is stigma caused by? - correct answer ✔- Three root causes are
ignorance, prejudice, and discrimination


How Does Stigma Relate to Mental Health? - correct answer ✔- Often times
mental health gets stigmatized, even within health and mental health. The
stigma can lead to more mental health issues. It also leads people to refusing
to accept that they may have a mental health issue


Pescocolido et al "Americans' Views of Mental Illness": What did the study
establish - correct answer ✔- It established that although public knowledge
regarding mental illness has improved since the 1950s, the public attitudes
have worsened -> creating a resurgence of interest in stigma and mental
health issues


Pescocolido et al "Americans' Views of Mental Illness": What were the goals?
- correct answer ✔- Examine the public perceptions of mental illness and
substance abuse and to determine how individuals with these mental health
problems recognize and seek help


Pescocolido et al "Americans' Views of Mental Illness": What did they
conclude? - correct answer ✔- Public definitions of what constitutes a mental
health problem have broadened
- Public definitions of mental illness increasingly include violence or other
dangerous behaviors
- Understanding of competence differ depending on the mental health problem
(alcohol dependence, schizophrenia, and drug dependence -> less
competent; major depression -> more competent)
- The public is willing to be friendly with mental health problems but less likely
to extend their willingness to accept them as family members or coworkers
- Mental health is still very stigmatized
