Abstract
Aims:
The paper introduces and describes the use of
implicit measures of attitude in two separate studies. The aim of the first study was to
explore children's and adolescents, (10 to 16 years) stigmatizing responses
towards hypothetical peers with either ADHD or depression. The aim of the second was to
investigate whether a brief on-line intervention could change young adults, (18
to 25 years) attitudes towards help-seeking for mental health problems.
Conclusions: Implicit measures may prove to be a useful
tool for researchers who are interested in stigma associated with mental health
problems in young people and their treatment. Lessons learned from the use of implicit measures in these
studies will be highlighted.
