Respondents were 114 patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. We used
Analyses of Variance (ANOVA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test moderation.
Results: Good insight was associated with high service engagement and high compliance. Also,
good insight was associated with depressed mood, low quality of life, and negative self-esteem.
This association was strong when stigma was high and weak when stigma was low. SEM
showed that the constrained model performed significantly worse than the unconstrained
model, in which detrimental associations of insight were free to vary across stigma groups
