Details	Researchers (e.g., Shirom, 1989) have shown that people do not tend to stigmatize a person’s burnout state, which is one meaning of the existence of burnout concept. Previous research with French participants showed that neither burnout nor depression were stigmatized (Bianchi et al., 2016). However, that study did not consider the types of stigma scales and the relationship between stigma and personality. In this study, we employed different types of stigma scales and the big five personality scale. Exploratory factor analysis with promax rotation produced a four-factor solution, and we calculated average scores of stigma index. We entered the illness condition and TIPI into regression to predict stigmas (four types) after controlling for demographic variables. A significant positive standardized partial regression coefficient of illness condition on Avoid relationships was observed. In addition, Extraversion had a negative coefficient for all stigma indexes. The Avoid relationship stigma was higher for depression than for burnout. However, the effect size was quite small. This result indicates that the stigma difference between depression and burnout is trivial and only occurs in direct relationships. Additionally, people with high extroversion felt less stigma.
