Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Primary objective:

The primary objective is to evaluate in the general population the difference between emotional reactions associated with facial involvement by four major dermatologic diseases: psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, and alopecia areata.

* Compare the social distance and stereotyping by the general population toward individuals with facial involvement by: psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, and alopecia areata.
* Evaluate demographic factors that describe a greater tendency toward stigmatization.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Basic demographic characteristics (Gender, Age, Employment status, Education level) will be recorded for each patient.

Participants will be asked to observe images depicting faces of individuals with atopic dermatitis, alopecia areata, vitiligo, and psoriasis (generated through artificial intelligence systems). They will be asked to select the individual from those shown that generates the most compassion/pity, disgust, blame/disapproval/disdain, and curiosity for them, analyzing the same emotional responses investigated in a study on stigma toward psoriasis patients.

In addition, each participant will be given a 14-question questionnaire on stigma (analyzing social distance and stereotyping) toward one of the four diseases under investigation (psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, or alopecia areata), selected randomly. For each question, responses will be expressed from 1 to 5, on a Likert scale, with lower scores indicating greater stigma. (Total score between 14 and 70)
