- W59614557 abstract "A woman who has battled serious depression for most of her adulthood stated, thought I was worthless, but volunteering gave me back some self-esteem and helped me to stop feeling so isolated (Oliver, 2006, p. 1). Imagine if the depressed woman quoted above never got the opportunity to volunteer; imagine how different her life would be. Although volunteering is negatively correlated with depressive symptoms (Li & Ferraro, 2006; Lum & Lightfoot, 2005; Musick & Wilson, 2003) and research consistently demonstrates that people who volunteer report better health and greater happiness than people who do not volunteer (Borgonovi, 2008; Piliavin & Siegl, 2007; Thoits & Hewitt, 2001), depressed individuals may not get the opportunity to volunteer. The purpose of this study is to examine whether or not depressed individuals are rejected in volunteer selection situations. Stigma of Mental Illness Mentally ill individuals are often stigmatized by others. Public stigma occurs when people endorse a set of prejudicial attitudes, negative beliefs, and discriminatory behaviors toward individuals with mental illness (Corrigan, 2000). Unfortunately, these stigmatized individuals may recognize the public's negative responses and internalize them, a process that results in self-stigma (Corrigan & Watson, 2002). Both types of stigma can negatively affect the lives of people with mental illness. Regarding depression, research has demonstrated that the public perceives depressed individuals as potentially dangerous and capable of arousing negative emotions from others (Angermeyer & Matschinger, 2004; Peluso & Blay, 2009). Similarly, individuals with depression and anxiety disorders are more likely to report experiencing self-stigma than people with chronic physical conditions (Alonso et al., 2008). Many adverse consequences are associated with the stigmatization of those with mental illness. One such consequence is social rejection. Mentally ill individuals, particularly those who are depressed, are rejected in friendship situations (Coyne, 1976; Joiner, 1996; Joiner & Metalsky, 1995; Strack & Coyne, 1983) as well as employee selection and promotion situations (Chan, McMahon, Cheing, Rosenthal, & Bezyak, 2005; Koser, Matsuyama, & Kopelman, 1999). Depression and Rejection Individuals with depression are rejected across many forms of interactions. For example, research using depressed and non-depressed college roommates provides evidence that depressed individuals are rejected in face-to-face interactions with others (Hokanson, Rubert, Welker, Hollander, & Hedeen, 1989; Joiner, 1996; Joiner & Metalsky, 1995; Strack & Coyne, 1983). In addition, research has demonstrated that depressed individuals described by written (Sacco & Dunn, 1990), visual (Pettit, Paukert, & Joiner, 2005; Vaerum & McCabe, 2001), and auditory depictions (Gurtman, 1987) are rejected by others. Depressed people are also rejected in other, more formal social interactions, for example, those occurring within their workplace. Individuals with depression file significantly more allegations of discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act than people with other physical or mental disabilities (Chan et al., 2005), indicating that they perceive discrimination in this setting. Research has illustrated that depressed individuals are, in fact, discriminated against in both employment and promotion situations. Specifically, employers are more willing to hire a physically disabled applicant compared to an applicant with depression, as they foresee potential performance problems and have concerns about absenteeism with the depressed applicant (Koser et al., 1999). Individuals with depression are also less likely to get a job interview (Pearson, Ip, Hui, Yip, Ho, & Lo, 2003) and are less likely to be recommended for a promotion compared to those with physical and medical disorders (Bordieri & Drehmer, 1997). …" @default.
