Abstract

The present study investigates motive frustration as a mechanism linking stigma to outcomes. The study uses an online ball-tossing game for manipulation purposes and employs a 2x2 design that frustrates agentic and/or communal motives in a sample of individuals living with Type 2 diabetes in Turkey.
