Research comparing mental and physical health stigma is scarce. The aim of this study was to compare social exclusion towards hypothetical males and females with depression or chronic back pain. Furthermore, the study investigated whether social exclusion is associated with participant’s empathy and personality traits, while controlling for their sex, age and personal exposure to mental/physical chronic health conditions.
