The PDD scale was applied to a sample of 295 participants recruited through community programs in the south of Mexico City. Data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis to identify the subscales of PDDs. These subscales were compared by age, gender, and education using a univariate analysis. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was then performed to determine whether there were differences in educational level between three PDDM-subscales.Results The PDD scale obtained an adequate global internal consistency (α = .78). Three PDDs factors were identified: myths and stereotypes, favorable attitudes, and social exclusion, which explain 57.8% of the total variance. The results shows an Χ2SB = 140.88 (df = 143, p = .05, CFI = 1, RMSEA = .000, CI .000, .029). Other findings showed significant differences in favorable attitudes toward mental illness subscale by gender and age. The ANOVA results for the social perception of the devaluation subscale reveal that those with a higher educational level could be more aware about devaluation in society toward people with mental illness than other groups with lower education (F = 4.88, p = .005).Discussion and conclusion The PDD-M scale adapted in Mexico is a culturally valid and reliable measure that could be useful for evaluating the variations and commonalities of public stigma in comparative studies between Latino populations and other international research contexts. 2021 artículo científico 0185-3325 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=58266576005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/582/58266576005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/582/58266576005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/582/58266576005/58266576005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/582/58266576005/movil 10.17711/SM.0185-3325.2021.011 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=582 Salud Mental application/pdf Instituto Nacional de Psiquiatría Ramón de la Fuente Muñiz Salud Mental (México) Num.2 Vol.44
