Relatives of schizophrenia patients, professional staff and the general public differ with regard to attitudes and social distance towards schizophrenia patients. The general population has a more pessimistic view concerning all aspects of schizophrenia than relatives and staff members. Social distance was most prominently influenced by perceived dangerousness.
