Interesting poster! Why do you think environmental causal attributions may have predicted higher perceived stigma?
Thank you! The environmental attribution items included causes such as being spoiled as a child, having lenient parents, being isolated from extended family, being unemployed, being single, and a few more. It may be that the somewhat negative tone of some of these items was appealing to those with higher levels of stigma in the sample.
Makes perfect sense. Thank you for the clarification!
Thank you for sharing your research and presenting at NEPA!
