Table 2. Means (SDs) of Variables in Studies 1 and 2.

Variable	Study 1	Study 2
Anticipated stigma	2.80 (1.38)	2.71 (1.42)
Centrality	4.17 (1.50)	4.60 (1.37)
Salience	1.26 (1.88)	2.26 (2.23)
Cultural stigma	5.04 (0.67)	5.04 (0.67)
Distress	0.02 (0.60)	—
CES-D	20.63 (11.77)	22.02 (12.50)
STAI-T	2.37 (0.54)	—
Illness symptoms	—	17.13 (11.10)

Note. All measures were scaled such that greater values indicate higher levels of each construct. Anticipated stigma, centrality, and cultural stigma were rated on 7-point scales ranging from 1 to 7. Salience was measured as thoughts per day. Distress is a composite measure of standardized scores of depression (CES-D) and anxiety (STAI-T). Depression (CES-D) and illness symptoms (PILL) are reported as sums. Trait Anxiety (STAI-T) was rated on a 4-point scale ranging from 1 to 4. Dashes indicate that data were not obtained. CES-D = Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression scale; STAI-T = State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Trait scale; PILL = Pennebaker Inventory of Limbic Languidness.
