- Abstract:
- Objective: To identify the diagnostic labeling and diagnostic description effects of Major Depressive Disorder on college students for assessment of responsibility for the nonviolent crime of burglary. Also, to identify any gender, racial or ethnic differences that may arise in the responsibility scores. Methods: 476 college students were asked to provide a responsibility score on a five-point Likert Scale of one of three conditions for an individual who was accused of the nonviolent crime of burglary. The three conditions presented followed one of three conditions; a nondiagnostic label/nondiagnostic description condition, a diagnostic label of Major Depressive Disorder condition, and a condition where the diagnostic description for Major Depressive Disorder was provided without the diagnostic label. Hypotheses: Hypothesis (1a): In the nondiagnostic label condition, participants will report lower responsibility scores than in the diagnostic description condition and the diagnostic label condition. Hypothesis (1b): In the diagnostic description condition participants will report higher responsibility scores than the diagnostic label condition. Statistics: The results were analyzed using one-way ANOVA.
