Objective The aim of this study was to explore how changes in biologically based narratives versus socially focused ones affect
medical students’ perceptions of causes, treatment strategies, and social distance towards patients and their beliefs that patients
can improve.
Methods The sample consisted of 1652 medical students of 18 to 32 years of age from the Faculty ofMedicine at the University
of Belgrade. Three text passages describing a female with standard symptoms of depression were randomly assigned. Within the
text, additional information about different circumstances was included: information about personal problems (group S), family
mental disorder history (group B), or both (group BS).
Results Although family history of mental illness does not necessarily imply heredity, group B assumed a biological cause of
depression to be more probable and identified medication prescription as a more effective treatment approach than the other
groups did. Changes in views towards ...treatment strategies from the first year to later years were observed with the medical model
becoming more dominant.
Conclusions The results of this study warn us of a tendency towards thinking less about social causes and more about medication
prescription when an indication of biological causes is present. Implications for the medical education of future doctors and
clinical practitioners are discussed.
