Stereotype Knowledge and Endorsement in Schizophrenia.

L Castelli, F D'Alpaos, L Carraro, F Pavan, G Galfano and B Forti, Psychopathology, 2017

Social cognition is severely impaired in schizophrenia. Emotion processing, attributional biases, and theory of mind are often impaired, as well as the understanding of shared social knowledge. So far, little is known about stereotype knowledge and endorsement in schizophrenia.White patients with schizophrenia and matched healthy respondents reported both their personal beliefs and the predicted beliefs of other people toward Black (study 1) and Gypsy individuals (study 2).Results showed that respondents in the clinical sample displayed less stereotype endorsement as compared to the matched healthy respondents. Most importantly, the contents of the responses provided by the 2 samples were strongly overlapped.Findings indicate that individuals with schizophrenia tend to hold less negative attitudes toward stigmatized outgroups and, most notably, that knowledge about culturally transmitted stereotypes is relatively preserved in schizophrenia. Future research should address the generalizability of the findings in relation to the perception of other stigmatized social groups.

That may because we’re a minority at 1 in 100 and I feel like an outcast at times.

My boss was killing herself yesterday because my cup of Kimchi Noodles for lunch was “OOLONG MEN”. It took me over a moment to get the phallus reference. And then I was just staring at her while she was laughing so hard she was wheezing. I know I have to indulge in phallic jokes to fit in with normies, but I can’t understand the point of them. Nothing clever about the humour at all.

She’s a good boss, but I just wish the people at work would shut up about things that aren’t work. It’s a waste of everyone’s time.
