Personal Stigma
时间窗: pre-intervention, immediately after the intervention, follow-up at 1 month after intervention
Personal Stigma Scale Personal Stigma Scale consisted of two subscales: 'Personal unpredictable/ dangerousness' and 'Personal weak not sick' The questions were calculated as 'strongly agree' (4) to 'strongly disagree' (0), with greater scores implying greater stigmatizing attitudes.
Empathy
时间窗: pre-intervention, immediately after the intervention, follow-up at 1 month after intervention
Empathetic concern sub-scale of Interpersonal Reactivity Index The 7-item sub-scale is measured on a five point likert scale ranging from 'does not describe me well' (0) to 'describes me very well' (4).
Attitudes towards those experiencing mental disorders
时间窗: pre-intervention, immediately after the intervention, follow-up at 1 month after intervention
