Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this mixed methodology study is to explore the psychological help-seeking attitudes amongst the Chinese international students attending community colleges when facing acculturative stress. The social-behavioral model (Andersen & Newman, 1995) of help-seeking behaviors that included the variables of personal factors (e.g. age, gender), environmental factors (e.g. social support), and acculturation level were considered. A mixed-methods design was implemented using 39 Chinese international students and seven assessments. These assessments included the Attitudes toward Seeing professional Psychological help Scale (ATSPPHS), a modified versions of the Suinn-Lew Asian Self-Identity Acculturation Scale (SL-ASIA), Acculturative Stress Scale for International Students (ASSIS), Asian Value Scale-Revised 9AVS-R), Multidimentional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), Brief Religious Coping (Brief RCOPE), and a demographic questionnaire. Additionally, two focus groups with students and four interviews with administrators were conduced to understand students' acculturated challenges, their coping strategies, and their psychological help-seeking attitudes.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of Chinese international students obtaining their education at American institutions of higher education has reached a pinnacle, in that more Chinese international students attend American colleges and universities than ever before (Institute of International Education, 2015). Colleges and universities actively recruit Asian international students, especially those from the People's Republic of China. As Chinese international students continue to represent an ever-greater percentage of the student bodies at colleges and universities, these institutions have a responsibility to attend to the mental health needs of this population. Within this population, research suggests that male Asian international students hold less positive attitudes toward seeking help than their female peers (Komiya & Eells, 2001). Since the participants in this study represent an intersection of identities, the extant research from several populations will be reviewed. Specifically, literature examining college students', college men's, racial minorities', and international students' mental health needs, attitudes towards mental health resources, and help-seeking behaviors will be discussed. The literature review will also build a case for examining male Chinese international students' mental health needs. The goal of this study is to provide greater insight into how male Chinese international students perceive mental health resources. The current study utilized Consensual Qualitative Research (Hill, 2012; Hill et al. 2005; Hill et al., 1997) to examine male Chinese international students' experiences as international students, their adjustment to American culture, their mental health needs, their perceptions of mental health resources, and their help-seeking behaviors.

Download or read book Chinese International Students Stressors and Coping Strategies in the United States written by Kun Yan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-11 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how Chinese students abroad may suffer stress, and how they conceptualize and adapt to stress in the American higher education environment. To do so, it adopts a mixed methods design: the sequential explanatory design, which is characterized by the collection and analysis of quantitative data followed by the collection and analysis of qualitative data. To date, no empirical research has focused solely upon understanding the stress and coping processes of Chinese students in the United States. This book addresses that gap, enriching the body of literature on international students’ adaptation process in foreign countries.

Book excerpt: Does Mental Health Literacy Predict Help- Seeking Behaviors Among Depressed Asian International Students? Da Hwin Kim Emma C. McWhorter Linda G. Castillo Department of Educational Psychology, Texas A&M University, USA ABSTRACT This study aimed to examine whether Asian international students’ mental health literacy predicts mental health help-seeking behaviors above and beyond known influencing factors. Hierarchical logistic regression was conducted in analyzing a national sample of 460 Asian international students who reported depressive symptomatology. Results indicated that students who identified as female and experienced more days of academic impairment were more likely to seek counseling. Additionally, having more knowledge on mental disorders and treatments and campus mental health services were positively related to helpseeking behavior. However, the ability to recognize the development of mental disorders in others was negatively associated with seeking mental health help. Implications for administrators, college program planners, and mental health providers are discussed. Keywords: Asian, college students, help-seeking, international students, mental health literacy

This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This cross-cultural study investigates help-seeking for depression among Japanese primary school teachers. Help-seeking for depressive symptoms is examined quantitatively by administering the Help-Seeking Scale for Depression among participants. In addition, this study qualitatively examines the help-seeking pathways of participants according to Kleinman's explanatory model of help-seeking. The objective of the study was to determine possible motivators for Japanese and other Asian people to seek professional help for symptoms of mental illness. The participants consisted of 71 Japanese school teachers from four primary schools located in the Kansai region of Japan. Participants' conceptualizations of depression were assessed using the Help-Seeking Scale for Depression (HSSD) after reading a vignette describing depressive symptoms. Participants' perceived severity of depressive symptoms (hypothesis 1) and prior therapy/counseling experience (hypothesis 2) significantly predicted professional help-seeking. The prevalence of depression was significantly higher in female participants (hypothesis 3); results indicating prevalence were non-significant for males. Hypotheses 1 and 2 were supported at p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book makes a highly innovative contribution to overcoming the stigma and discrimination associated with mental illness – still the heaviest burden both for those afflicted and those caring for them. The scene is set by the presentation of different fundamental perspectives on the problem of stigma and discrimination by researchers, consumers, families, and human rights experts. Current knowledge and practice used in reducing stigma are then described, with information on the programmes adopted across the world and their utility, feasibility, and effectiveness. The core of the volume comprises descriptions of new approaches and innovative programmes specifically designed to overcome stigma and discrimination. In the closing part of the book, the editors – all respected experts in the field – summarize some of the most important evidence- and experience-based recommendations for future action to successfully rewrite the long and burdensome ‘story’ of mental illness stigma and discrimination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years China has witnessed unprecedented economic growth, emerging as a powerful, influential player on the global stage. Now, more than ever, there is a great interest and need within the West to better understand the psychological and social processes that characterize the Chinese people. The Oxford Handbook of Chinese Psychology is the first book of its kind - a comprehensive and commanding review of Chinese psychology, covering areas of human functioning with unparalleled sophistication and complexity. In 42 chapters, leading authorities cite and integrate both English and Chinese-language research in topic areas ranging from the socialization of children, mathematics achievement, emotion, bilingualism and Chinese styles of thinking to Chinese identity, personal relationships, leadership processes and psychopathology. With all chapters accessibly written by the leading researchers in their respective fields, the reader of this volume will learn how and why China has developed in the way it has, and how it is likely to develop. In addition, the book shows how a better understanding of a culture so different to our own can tell us so much about our own culture and sense of identity. A book of extraordinary breadth, The Oxford Handbook of Chinese Psychology will become the essential sourcebook for any scholar or practitioner attempting to understand the psychological functioning of the world's largest ethnic group.
