Mental illness stigma is a social construct which involves labelling individuals with mental illness which in turn discredits and results in the loss of dignity of the individual, as well as causing the individual concerned to experience discrimination, marginalization, and isolation. Mental illness stigma can be influenced by various factors. Factors that can affect mental illness stigma are collectivist culture and mental health literacy. This study used quantitative methods with the aim to investigate the role of collectivist culture and mental health literacy in mental illness stigma. The subjects in this study were 160 undergraduate students at tertiary institutions in Indonesia. The instruments used in this study were the mental illness stigma scale, collectivist culture scale, and mental health literacy scale. The data analysis technique used in this study is multiple regression. The results of multiple regression tests showed a regression coefficient value of 0.239 and a coefficient of determination value of 0.057. The significance value of mental health literacy is 0.022 (p < 0.05) with a standardized beta coefficient of -0.189 and the significance value of collectivist culture is 0.232 (p > 0.05) with a standardized beta coefficient value of -0.098. These results indicate that both collectivist culture and mental health literacy simultaneously play a role in reducing the mental illness stigma of university students in Indonesia. Mental health literacy has a significant role in reducing mental illness stigma among university students in Indonesia, whereas collectivist culture does not have a significant role in reducing mental illness stigma.
