Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
This study aims to develop a model by looking at the following factors; attitude, conception on mental illness and knowledge with social distance towards people with mental illness. Besides that, this study also examines prejudice as a moderator and hypothesizes a model developed fit with data sample. A cross-sectional study was used to achieve the desired objective of the study. An online survey was created by using Google Form. A number of a public university students in Selangor (n=384) was invited to participate in an online questionnaire. Responses were rated on five-point likert scale. Smart-PLS was been used to anlaylize the data got from respondent. Findings reported that only attitude (R2=0.24, p0.05; t = 0.25, P>0.05; t=0.44). Furthermore, this study found that, 91.9% public university students have social distance towards people with mental illness. This study adds weight to the argument that either having knowledge on mental illness or not, the feeling of fear and unstable attitude of people with mental illness force them to make social distance toward people with mental illness. As a conclusion, social distance towards people with mental illness has encouraged other people to underestimate them, to the point where this group of people had to undergo unemployment. This study implicates that reducing social distance toward people with mental illness can enhance their social function.
