摘要

The study explored workplace stigma related to medication use for physical and mental health conditions, aiming to develop a measure of medication stigma and examine its distinctiveness from health condition stigma, as well as its impact on intentions for socialization and collaboration. The sample included 296 participants who are either actively working or planning their career path, randomly assigned to vignettes describing co-worker scenarios. Confirmatory factor analyses and linear mixed-effect modeling were employed. Results indicated that medication stigma and health condition stigma are conceptually distinct, influencing intentions for socialization and collaboration differently across job settings. Stronger medication stigma was broadly associated with a reduced intent to socialize and collaborate in white-collar roles, but stigma against psychoactive medications was particularly high in blue-collar roles. The study highlights how addressing a discrediting condition can introduce additional layers of stigma, impacting workplace interactions and collaboration dynamics.
