The publication of Erving Goffman’s Stigma: Notes on
the Management of Spoiled Identity in 1963 generated a
profusion of research on the nature, sources, and
consequences of stigma—albeit with considerable
variation on how stigma was defined. In our
conceptualisation, stigma is the result of a process in
which a series of five interrelated components combine
to generate stigma. In the first component, people
identify and label human differences. Although most
human differences are socially irrelevant, differences
such as skin colour, IQ, and sexual preferences are
highly salient in many social contexts. The point is that
there is a social selection process determining which
differences are deemed relevant and consequential,
and which are not. Medical conditions vary
dramatically in the extent to which they are socially
significant. Compare hypertension, bone
