- Who is the Stigma poster for?
- Stigma belongs to the Psychology section rather than to a school year, because life science is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning clinical & abnormal can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Stigma poster?
- Self-stigma predicts help-seeking better than public stigma does. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Stigma belongs on the wall where that life science work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Stigma?
- Addiction, Anxiety and Biological Treatments sit alongside Stigma in the Psychology section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.AddictionAnxietyBiological Treatments
- Is the Stigma poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Stigma downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Psychology section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Stigma poster print at?
- Stigma is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Stigma loses nothing.Printing guide
