  • the effects of a Documentary Film about schizophrenia on psychiatric stigma
    Schizophrenia Bulletin, 2003
    Co-Authors: David L Penn, Cliff Chamberlin, Kim T Mueser
    Abstract:

    This study examined whether viewing a Documentary that depicts individuals with schizophrenia can reduce psychiatric stigma. One hundred and sixty-three individuals were randomly assigned to one of four conditions: no Documentary Film, Documentary about polar bears, Documentary about fears of being overweight, and Documentary about schizophrenia. Participants also completed a battery of tasks assessing attitudes toward persons with schizophrenia, attributions about the disorder, and intentions to interact with individuals with schizophrenia. The findings showed that compared to the other experimental conditions, the Documentary about schizophrenia resulted in more benign attributions about schizophrenia (e.g., less likely to blame individuals with schizophrenia for the disorder) but did not change general attitudes about schizophrenia (e.g., perceived dangerousness). The Film also did not increase participants' intentions to interact with persons with schizophrenia. These findings could not be attributed to mood changes associated with the Film or how much participants liked the Film. The findings provide partial support for the hypothesis that a media depiction of persons with schizophrenia can reduce stigma.

  • health and safety at work analysis from the brazilian Documentary Film flesh and bone
    Safety and health at work, 2017
    Co-Authors: Luciano Mendes, Heliani Berlato Dos Santos, Elisa Yoshie Ichikawa
    Abstract:

    Abstract Background The objective of this article is to make some analysis on the process of work and accidents occurring in slaughterhouses, evidenced in the Brazilian Documentary Film called Flesh and Bone . As such, it was necessary to discuss an alternative theoretical concept in relation to theories about health and safety at work. This alternative discussion focuses on the concepts of biopower and biopolitics. Methods The use of audiovisual elements in research is not new, and there is already a branch of studies with methodological and epistemological variations. The Brazilian Documentary Flesh and Bone was the basis for the research. The analysis of this Documentary will be carried out from two complementary perspectives: “textual analysis” and “discourse analysis.” Results Flesh and Bone presents problems related to health and safety at work in slaughterhouses because of the constant exposure of workers to knives, saws, and other sharp instruments in the workplace. The results show that in favor of higher production levels, increased overseas market sales, and stricter quality controls, some manufacturers resort to various practices that often result in serious injuries, disposal, and health damages to workers. Conclusion Flesh and Bone , by itself, makes this explicit in the form of denunciation based on the situation of these workers. What it does not make clear is that, in the context of biopolitics, the actions aimed at solving these problems or even reducing the negative impacts for this group of workers, are not efficient enough to change such practices.

  • the effects of a Documentary Film about schizophrenia on cognitive affective and behavioural aspects of stigmatisation
    Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry, 2016
    Co-Authors: Benedicte Thonon, Amandine Pletinx, Allison Grandjean, Joel Billieux, Frank Larøi
    Abstract:

    Background and Objectives: Stereotypes about schizophrenia may lead to prejudicial attitudes and discrimination with debilitating effects on people diagnosed with schizophrenia. There is thus a need to develop interventions aiming to prevent, reduce or eliminate such stereotypes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a Documentary Film on schizophrenia on cognitive, affective and behavioural aspects of stigmatisation. Methods: Forty-nine participants were assessed on measures of stereotypes and social distance, and on the Model of Stereotype Content, which includes measures of stereotypes, emotional reactions and behavioural tendencies. Participants were randomly assigned into either a condition in which they viewed the Documentary Film (Film group), or into a control condition in which no intervention was conducted (Control group). Results: Only participants in the Film group revealed a significant decrease of negative stereotypes (Dangerousness and Unpredictability) and desired Social distance, and a significant increase in the perception of sociability in persons with schizophrenia. Limitations: Small sample size and its reduced generalizability are the main limitations in this study. Conclusions: These findings suggest that a Documentary Film promoting indirect contact with people diagnosed with schizophrenia is a promising tool to prevent and reduce stigmatisation regarding schizophrenia..

  • the effects of a Documentary Film on reducing stigmatisation about schizophrenia
    Psychosis, 2009
    Co-Authors: Frank Larøi, Martial Van Der Linden
    Abstract:

    Negative public reactions towards people with mental health problems, and in particular those diagnosed with schizophrenia, may result in a number of negative consequences, including aggravating their condition and making it even more difficult for them to assimilate into society. The present study examined young people’s attitudes about schizophrenia and evaluated the effect of a Documentary Film (depicting the lives of people diagnosed with schizophrenia) on reducing stigmatization about schizophrenia. One hundred and fifteen undergraduate psychology students first provided information concerning their attitudes and knowledge about schizophrenia, in addition to filling out a questionnaire assessing their degree of acceptance of negative stereotypes and degree of social distance towards schizophrenia patients. One week later, participants viewed the Documentary Film and completed the same questionnaire. The Film significantly and positively influenced participants’ negative attitudes concerning schizophrenia. In particular, after having watched the Film, participants revealed less negative and derogatory stereotypical attitudes about schizophrenia and desired less social distance with schizophrenia patients. This change was not related to social desirability, age, sex or years of education.
