Innovative Stigma and Discrimination Reduction Interventions for Gender, Race, and Mental Health
Subject Area: Social Psychology
This symposium presents innovative stigma and discrimination reduction interventions that reduce stigma of: (a) mental health through theater, (b) racial/ethnic members through language-based name pronunciation, (c) sexual violence against women through sexual assault reduction strategies, and (d) men’s same-sex desire (and thereby 6-month sexual risk-taking) using a representative intelligent-agent game.
