FEDERICO CONTU published this work as part of a team: Pantaleo, Giuseppe. Here is a description of this work: Thi,, article reports empirical findings on the strength and dissociation of experimentally induced cognitive vs. Emotional responses to instigators of prejudice towards people affected by mental illness.

Such reassuring information was conveyed to participants as the increasing likelihood that ordinary people typically recover, if affected, from mental illness (likelihood not mentioned, low [5%], moderate [50%], high [70%]). Whereas the intensity of cognitive responses tended to diminish linearly with growing reasons for not being prejudiced (η2 =. 06), the intensi.
