520 |a Little is known about the relation between religiosity and illness stigma. This study examined the relationship between religiosity and stigmatizing attitudes toward the mental illness of addiction and the physical illness of cancer. Participants (N = 120) completed a measure of religiosity and evaluated a vignette describing either a person with addiction or cancer. The results indicated that attitudes were more negative toward a person with addiction than a person with cancer, which is consistent with attribution theory. However, religiosity was generally unrelated to stigmatizing attitudes. These results suggest that religiosity may be a less powerful determinant of stigmatizing attitudes than attributions about the illness.
