Supplementary file 1_Development of self-stigma scale for adolescents in conflict with the law and its association with implicit self-stigma.docx Xiaoyi Wang (90589) Zijiao Zhao (8717808) Jianglin Fu (25080592) Bangman Cai (25080595) Weijie Meng (18775204) Applied Psychology self-stigma justice-involved adolescents implicit relational assessment procedure (IRAP) DAARRE model conditional dissociation Introduction<p>Research on self-stigma among justice-involved adolescents is limited by a lack of dedicated instruments and an overreliance on explicit self-reports susceptible to social desirability bias.</p>Methods<p>Two studies were conducted. Study 1 developed and validated the Self-Stigma Scale for Adolescents in Conflict with the Law (SSS-ACL), confirming a two-factor structure comprising perceived and internalized stigma with sound psychometric properties. Study 2 employed two IRAP protocols based on the DAARRE model to capture spontaneous relational responding for each dimension.</p>Results<p>This showed that 81.08% of participants displayed positive implicit perceived stigma (automatic group-negative associations), whereas only 25.68% displayed positive implicit internalized stigma (automatic negative self-linkages); he two implicit indices were uncorrelated. Explicit-implicit correlations were conditional: explicit internalized stigma was unrelated to both IRAP indices, explicit perceived stigma was only marginally associated with its implicit counterpart, and explicit perceived stigma showed a small positive correlation with implicit internalized stigma.</p>Discussion<p>These findings suggest that perceived and internalized stigma are functionally distinct at both reflective and spontaneous levels, and that robust implicit perceived stigma does not automatically translate into internalized self-stigma, consistent with a possible self-protective function. Practically, combining explicit and implicit measures may improve stigma assessment, and interventions should prioritize blocking internalization over merely reducing awareness of public stigma.</p> 2026-09-21T05:36:48Z Dataset Dataset 10.3389/fpsyg.2026.1767941.s001 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Supplementary_file_1_Development_of_self-stigma_scale_for_adolescents_in_conflict_with_the_law_and_its_association_with_implicit_self-stigma_docx/33950053 CC BY 4.0
