    The study aims to investigate the the subjective concept of stigma and discrimination in psychosis as well as related psycho-social constructs such as social support, stigma resistance, affect, meta-cognitive coping and meta-cognitive beliefs. The study will implement a cross-­sectional questionnaires and electronic sampling method (ESM) design, which captures the data in a momentry basis at numerous time-­points throughout the day.
