Fig. 5: Probability distribution of total IMB and total stigma experience.
From: An integrated empirical and computational study to decipher help-seeking behaviors and vocal stigma
A total of 500,000 social interactions were simulated for VP, non-VP, and general populations with low, average, or high initial social-stigma. a Total IMB and its components (information, motivation, and behavioral skills) at 50 and 400 network sizes. b Total stigma and its components (self-stigma and social-stigma) at 50 and 400 network sizes. c Average change in total IMB (diamonds) and total stigma (circles) from their initial values. Each row of subplots represents a specific magnitude of change, i.e., from less than 1 SD (σ) to more than 2 SD increase (inc.) or decrease (dec.), in total IMB and total stigma. % = percentage of simulations with corresponding changes in total stigma across all network sizes. d Ratio of simulations with total stigma changes more than 1 SD (Panel c row 1 + 2) relative to those with little or no changes (Panel c row 3).
