L’objectif
Researchers have argued that providing genetic explanations of addiction will reduce stigma, but there has been limited research testing this prediction.
Constatations/points à retenir
There was no effect of article condition on stigma. Participants’ biological essentialism correlated with stigma in the context of both opioid and methamphetamine addiction. However, participants’ non-biological essentialism was a significantly stronger correlate with stigma. This suggests that other essentialist beliefs, like belief that categories are discrete, may be more useful than biological essentialism for understanding addiction stigma.
