SOC 185 Midterm 2
Labeling: What were the criticisms of the labeling theory? - correct answer
✔- Did not support that this labeling affect was happening which led them to
make it more modifiable


Labeling: What new approach did the criticisms lead to? - correct answer ✔-
The new approach that the criticisms led to was the Modified Labeling
Approach
- This approach relates the labeling process to stigma
- Has become widely accepted for understanding stigma and its impact on
mental health


Labeling: What is another name for the labeling theory and what does it
formulate? - correct answer ✔- The Social Reaction Theory: focuses on the
linguistic tendency of majority groups to negatively label minority groups or
those seen as deviant from our societal norms
- Virtually everyone commits acts that correspond to the public stereotypes of
mental illness
- If these acts become known to the public, the appropriate officials will be
notified
- Once this occurs, the process of mental illness occurs, and the individual is
placed in a mental institution


Gove ("Societal Reaction as An Explanation of Mental Illness: An
Evaluation"): Is the social reaction theory accurate or inaccurate? Why? -
correct answer ✔- The social reaction theory is inaccurate
- Most people recognized as mentally ill have a serious mental health issue,
and it is only when the situation becomes unmanageable that action, such as
being committed to an asylum or institution, is taken

,- Discovers that people are not viewed as mentally ill just because of odd
behavior, in fact, many deny mental illness as an explanation until the
situation becomes unbearable
- Mental hospitalization does not necessarily lead to a prolonged occupancy of
the mentally ill role.


Gove ("Societal Reaction as An Explanation of Mental Illness: An
Evaluation"): What does the evidence suggest about behavior and
expectations? - correct answer ✔- Suggests that a person's behavior
determines the expectations of others much more so than the reverse, where
people's expectations determine someone's behavior


Link et al. ("A Modified Labeling Theory Approach to Mental Disorders: An
Empirical Assessment"): What does this piece examine? - correct answer ✔-
The authors examine whether stigmatization affects the social support
networks of patients officially labeled
- They offer a model for understanding how the stigmatization of the mental
patient status can have harmful consequences
- Overall findings:
· Identified a set of theoretically relevant attitudes that turned out to be
consistently but not uniformly negative
· As for social networks, they find support for the modified labeling approach
over an anti-labeling position
· There are significant effects of stigma when labeling preceded the outcome
variables, and no effects either when labeling followed the period covered by
the outcome variables or when no labeling occurred


Link et al. ("A Modified Labeling Theory Approach to Mental Disorders: An
Empirical Assessment"): When is the label assumed/designated? - correct
answer ✔- Assumed as true
- This study strongly challenges the notion that labeling, and stigma are
inconsequential in the lives of psychiatric patients and instead shows that

, labels and stigma matter for the lives of psychiatric patients and individuals
with mental health issues


Link et al. ("A Modified Labeling Theory Approach to Mental Disorders: An
Empirical Assessment"): What groups did this piece study? - correct answer
✔- They test their hypothesis by comparing data on five groups:
· Psychiatric patients experiencing their first treatment contact
· Current psychiatric patients with repeated treatment contacts
· Community residents who report having been in treatment but 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


Stigma: What is it? - correct answer ✔- Stigma is a set of negative beliefs
and prejudices about a group of people, as well as negative behaviors
towards groups of people


Stigma: How does it 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 even think that they are dangerous


Stigma: What does it 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)


Stigma: What is it caused by? - correct answer ✔- Ignorance, prejudice, and
discrimination
