Abstract
In an experimental paradigm (Study 1; n = 791) and pre-registered analyses on nationally representative US data from 1996-2018 (Study 2; n = 2,715), the effects of a depression and schizophrenia label on desire for distance (i.e., stigma), are consistently mediated by perceptions of the labelled individual as dangerous.
