This book was released on 2007 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sample consisted of 219 college students of African descent, with a greater number of females than males. ANCOVAs and multiple regression analyses were implemented to explore and understand the relationship between study variables. Females were found to have more positive attitudes toward seeking psychological help, and higher intentions to seek psychological help when necessary, compared to males. When considered separately, perceived negative peer norms and perceived negative family norms were found to predict help-seeking intentions, while perceived negative community norms did not. When the three levels of perceived negative norms were considered together, only perceived negative family norms was found to predict help-seeking intentions for psychological concerns. Results also showed that individuals with more positive attitudes toward seeking psychological help had higher intentions to seek professional help for psychological concerns, when necessary. The results of this study have implications for clinical intervention and research of mental health service usage among African American late adolescents and early adults. When trying to understand help-seeking intentions among African Americans, family norms are the most prominent factor to consider.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study evaluated clinical and cultural barriers to help seeking to identify which factor best predicted African American undergraduate student initial attitudes towards seeking professional psychological help (ATSPPH-short form). Predictor variables included anticipated utility, emotional openness, cultural mistrust, racial identity development, and stigma. Moderator variables controlled for prior counseling, gender and site. This study built upon prior research by evaluating clinical and cultural factors together and utilizing an information processing model to conceptualize data (Vogel et al., 2006). The focus on African American undergraduate students was based on retention problems for this population (American Council on Education, 2006) and underutilization of counseling by this population despite evidence of links between counseling & college persistence (Alford, 2000; Hamilton, 2006; Kearney, Draper & Barron, 2005; Trippi & Cheatham, 1991; & Wilson, Mason & Ewing, 1997). Sixty seven students from two Northeastern US colleges were surveyed. Direct correlation analysis found nine significant relationships with ATSPPH. Controlled for prior counseling use, anticipated benefit (r = .423, p=.001), Emotional Openness (r = .330, p=.010), and an Assimilationist Ideology of Racial Identity (r = .296, p=.022) were correlated with ATSPPH. Stepwise Multiple Regression found four significant predictors of attitudes, anticipated benefit (F=15.062, p

This book was released on 2017 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers have shown that racial and ethnic groups minorities utilize mental health services at a rate lower than their non-minority counterparts. This disparity still exists when matched for other demographic variables such as access, SES, and level of education (Alegría et al., 2002; Alvidrez, 1999). This study is aimed at determining how levels of cultural mistrust, causal attributions of mental illness, and beliefs about treatment efficacy affect attitudes toward help-seeking, specifically among Black American college students. Results from this study are two-fold and will provide information on correlates of attitudes toward mental-health help-seeking. In addition, understanding the reasons for the low rates at which Black populations seek services may provide insight into this phenomenon in other racial and ethnic minority groups. This study's ultimate goal is to supply outreach strategies and furnish training practices to better serve these populations.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural mistrust and fear of potential racism from people in the medical profession may be contributing to a noted disdain for mental health counseling among African American men. The purpose of this study was designed to gain insight into how attitudes toward religious help-seeking, acceptance of change, cultural mistrust, and mental health stigma impact therapy utilization among African American male college students. The review of literature explored the theoretical frameworks followed by the historical perspective, epigenetics, family structure, masculinity concept and help-seeking behaviors, noting barriers, fear, stigmas, spiritual influence, and economic hardships. Acceptance of change-evolving action is not currently endorsed by male African American college students. This appears to be due to attitudes, cultural competence, mistrust, risks, and misunderstanding of potential benefits to therapy utilization. The information examined in the literature review provided a foundational framework for understanding the impact of barriers on African American male college students regarding utilization of therapy. Although there have been awareness efforts, prompted by the federal government and the counseling community, the problem of underutilization continues. A quantitative correlational study was conducted to explore if religious help seeking, acceptance of change, cultural mistrust and mental health stigma have a connection to decreased therapy utilization. The study significance focuses on minimizing barriers to therapy utilization while increasing understanding concerning the benefits of its use. The significance of the study is designed to influence health care outcomes and disparities. The methods and procedures used in this research are presented in eight sections: (a) overview, (b) design, (c) research questions, (d) hypotheses, (e) participants, (f) instrument, (g) data collection, and (h) summary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, scholars have moved beyond attributing academic difficulties to cognitive and personal characteristics of African American students, and have begun to consider the effects of the predominantly White university (PWU) setting on the educational and psychological outcomes of Black collegians. Unfortunately, the literature paints a bleak picture of the social context of African American students at PWUs which ultimately impedes students' academic persistence and achievement (Gloria, Kurpius, Hamilton, & Wilson, 1999) as well as psychological wellness (Prelow, Mosher, & Bowman, 2006). The psychological ramifications of social and educational conditions for African American students at PWUs, along with higher attrition rates would substantiate the tremendous use of campus mental health services by this student population. Yet, the literature reveals that even when services are easily accessible and are provided for free or at extremely discounted prices, African American students choose not to seek professional psychological help (Nickerson, Helms, & Terrell, 1994). Drawing upon the psychosociocultural theoretical framework proposed by Gloria and Rodriguez (2000), this study examined if variables specific to the PWU environment - minority student stress, out-group comfort, and cultural congruity - served as predictors of attitudes towards seeking professional psychological help in a sample of African American collegians. This study also analyzed if counselor racial preference served as a mediator between the predictors and help-seeking. Survey data were collected from 198 Black college students attending a large, PWU in the Southwest. Results revealed that cultural congruity was the only significant predictor of help-seeking attitudes, and counselor racial preference was not a significant mediator. Exploratory analyses indicated gender differences in the relationship between the psychosociocultural variables and counselor racial preferences. Implications for practice and research in counseling psychology are discussed.
