Abstract

To mark a person implies that [a] deviant condition has been noticed and recognized as a problem in [an] interaction or [in a social or personal] relationship. To stigmatize a person generally carries a further implication that the mark has been linked by an attributional process to dispositions that discredit the bearer, i.e., that “spoil” [the bearer's] identity.
