The purpose of this study is to develop an instrument that measu- res the overall tendency of psychological stigma. When we examined stigma measuring scales, we can say that majority of stigma scales were developed to measure stigma of mental illnesses. This study is expected to contribute to the field because stigma is experienced by an individual or group in many dimen- sions of daily life. Individuals have shaped their value judgments and point of view by con- figuring life experiences, acquired conditionings by family and society since childhood. At the end of childhood, individuals have been acquired stereotypic judgments to evaluate events, any group of people or other individuals without realizing own stereotypic judges. In this sense, awareness of stereotypic judg- ments and getting rid of these judgments require an individual to be psycholo- gically strong. In fact, “rights” and “wrongs” of adults are societies’ “rights” and “wrongs”. According to Cüceloğlu (2002), if a society lived “values culture” in family life, business life and state administration, that society would not be a civilized and modern society, because, “fear culture” do not allow individuals to grow as a human being. Fear cultured society’ stigma tendency is higher than value cultured society. As we analyze history of mankind, we can say that, stigma has been an ongoing experience since ancient times. Indeed, according to Arboleda- Flórez (2002), “stizein” was a sign to describe the positions of the slaves in society and to describe slaves’ worthless in Greek society; stizein’s modern variation is “stigma” and stigma refers to distinguish individual who lived some experiences outside the normal norms of society and to reduce this individual’s dignity. According to Katz’ Labeling Theory, deviation from social norms is a con- dition that creates stigmatization (Weidner, 1981), stigma is based on negative beliefs ad prejudice –prejudice is a result of negative beliefs- (Çam ve Bilge, 2007), stigmatization starts with labeling and ends with discrimination and exc- lusion (Taşkın, 2007). On the other hand, stigma may result in mobbing. Stigmatization is a harmful experience for individuals and society. In order to prevent stigmatization, creating awareness about stigma will be the first step towards change. In this sense, we can say that, measuring stigma tendency is the primary stage of creating social awareness about stigma. According to Brohan, Slade, Clement and Thornicroft (2010) mental illness stigmatization studies have been increased in the last ten years. In their study, researchers examined nine hundred and eighty four studies conducted between 1999-2009 years on stigmatization again
