A new study from the University of Pennsylvania and professor of sociology Jason Schnittke shows that while most Americans believe that genetic causes of mental illness, the state is no longer tolerant of mentally ill than 10 years.
The study, published online in the journal Social Science and Medicine 2006, a copy of 1996 General Social Survey module psyche, for trends in religion in public about mental illness in the United States, in particular on public support for genetic reasons.
Before medical sociology studies show that public confidence about mental illness reflect the dominant treatment of mental disorders, the changing nature of media representations of mental illness and wisdom prevailing in the field of science and medicine.
Schnittke study, "insecurity revolution: Why is the emergence of a genetic model of mental illness no more tolerance", attempts to treat major tolerant attitude towards the mentally ill did not increase along with the growing popularity of biomedical look at its causes. His research finds that the various arguments are indeed becoming increasingly popular, but very different associations in connection with mental disorders are treated.
"In the case of schizophrenia, associated with genetic arguments about the violence," said Schnittke. "Indeed, nothing is explained schizophrenia genes impute bad character - how Americans see people with schizophrenia as" bad "in some significant way, and therefore likely to be violent. But if this depression, genetics arguments very different shades: they have relevant to social acceptability. If anyone imagine that depression genetic problems, the situation seems more genuine and less guilty: it is in their genes, not weak, it must take for them. "
Schnittke The study also shows that the arguments related to genetic treatment to recommend, but not relevant to the risk of improvement.
"While the stigmatization of people with mental illness do not decline in the proportion of treatment of psychiatric disorders has increased," wrote Schnittke. "Culture around the treatment of mental illness becomes focused and with direct access to consumer advertising of psychiatric drugs currently one of the pillars of popular media."
After Schnittke research, genetic arguments, in fact, increase state support for medical treatment, although they are not clearly related to improving the overall level of tolerance. We explain tolerance with regard to social distance: the reluctance to live next to the mentally ill, group homes for mentally ill people in the area to spend the night socializing with a mental patient, working in close contact with that person at work, friendship with someone with mental illness or mental illness marry within the family.
