In light of the rising trend of self-disclosing stigmatized identities on social media and the insufficient understanding of its repercussions on societal attitudes, this study employs an intersectional framework to examine the impact of revealing dual stigmas related to sexual identities and health conditions on destigmatization. Drawing upon the intergroup contact hypothesis and social penetration theory, a national sample of U.S. adults ( N = 1,596) participated in a 3 (sexual identity cue: explicit-cue vs implicit-cue vs no-cue) × 5 (coping with mental disorders: good-coping vs balanced-coping vs poor-coping vs no-coping vs control) between-subjects experiment. Results revealed that while dual stigma disclosure occasionally showed enhanced positive impacts, it never exacerbated stigmatized attitudes compared to single stigma disclosure. In addition, the two self-disclosure strategies interacted to influence destigmatization, mediated by perceived competence rather than perceived authenticity. Implications from the findings are provided.

应对社交媒体上的双重耻辱：自我表露策略如何影响公众对患有精神障碍的性少数群体的态度


鉴于社交媒体上自我披露污名化身份的趋势不断上升，以及对其对社会态度影响的认识不足，本研究采用交叉框架来研究揭露与性别身份和健康状况相关的双重污名对去污名化的影响。根据群体间接触假说和社会渗透理论，美国成年人的全国样本（N = 1,596）参与了 3（性身份提示：显式提示 vs 隐式提示 vs 无提示）× 5（应对精神障碍） ：良好应对、平衡应对、不良应对、无应对、对照）受试者间实验。结果显示，虽然双重耻辱披露偶尔会表现出增强的积极影响，但与单一耻辱披露相比，它从未加剧耻辱态度。此外，这两种自我表露策略相互作用，影响去污名化，这是由感知能力而不是感知真实性介导的。提供了研究结果的含义。
