This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to understand the impact of stereotype threat and academic self concept among African American college students. The participants were 217 African American college students attending a historically black university and a predominately white university. While there were no significant interactions among the variables, the results indicated: (1) students attending the predominately white university felt more alienated and less supported than students attending the historically black university; (2) students at the predominately white university experienced stereotype threat at a higher degree than students at the historically black university; (3) undergraduate students experienced more anxiety than graduate students; and (4) graduate students felt more alienated and less supported than undergraduate students. A major implication of the study is that educators and counselors at predominately white universities need to be sensitive to the impact stereotype threat among African American students.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present research utilized a mixed-methods explanatory sequential design to examine how stereotype threat influences first-year African-American student efficacy within a public university in Maryland. The study took aim at the pervasive problem of African-American student achievement and retention in post secondary institutions across the country, due in part to the noesis of stereotype threat. In light of this challenge, the researcher dissected the relationship between first-year African-American students and the college context in which they exist to better interpret how stereotype threat influences the racial cohesion and dissonance of Black students on the campus of a public university in Maryland. The study secured the perceptions of 169 first-year African-American students within the framework of a public university in Maryland as it pertained to their teaching and learning experiences. The study employed a two-step statistical process to determine statistical significance using the F-test for ,two sample variances, followed by a t-test for two sample variances. The study determined through the use of the Stereotype Confirmation Concern Scale that there was a statistically significant difference between academic achievement and social interaction of first-year African-American students influenced by stereotype threat and first-year African-American students not influenced by stereotype threat. Moreover, the study also determined that student perceptions were influenced in part by stereotype threat, racialization, and lack of inclusiveness. Theoretically, the research draws upon critical race theory to impart that the academic achievement and perceptual experiences of African-American college students are just as influenced by perceived threats of stereotypes as they are by poverty or other psychosocial stressors suggested by previous literature.

Download or read book The Underutilization of Mental Health Services by African American College Students written by Colleen Jaimie McCarthy and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, African Americans consistently underutilize mental health services. This trend is also seen in the African American college population, despite easier access to mental health resources. This report examines the central barriers experienced by African Americans in seeking out mental health services, which are most often seen in the literature. Barriers explored include stigma, the foundations of counseling, cultural mistrust, and attitudes and beliefs about mental health services. The barriers are then used as a framework to discuss preventive, developmental, and community interventions. Further suggestions are made as to how to best utilize interventions to reduce the barriers experienced by African American students in seeking mental health services.

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.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental health stigma serves as a chronic barrier to help-seeking and in some cases exacerbates mental health conditions (SAMHSA, 2013). Researchers and clinicians have tried many different methods to reduce these negative attitudes. A popular and usually successful method is education on what mental illness is, its causes, prognosis, and the availability and effectiveness of treatment. Large scale educational efforts have not been adequate in addressing these issues. Therefore, studies are being tailored to find stereotypes within specific communities so as to come up with matching educational protocols (Corrigan & Penn, 2015). The current study explored attitudes among African Americans in comparison to Black immigrants concerning mental illness stigma and accessing mental health services and also examined the effect of acculturation on these attitudes. A convenience sample of African American and Black Immigrant adults completed a battery of inventories including the following: A demographic survey, The Community Attitudes toward the Mentally Ill scale (CAMI), and the Immigrant Bicultural or Multicultural Identity Scale (IBMI). All 68 participants completed the CAMI scale and the demographic survey, and the 44 immigrant participants completed the IBMI scale in addition. Findings indicated that African Americans were equally sympathetic and compassionate as Black immigrants but were more apprehensive of mental health care facilities being located in their neighborhoods. Also, Black immigrants who had lived in the U.S longer endorsed more positive attitudes than the recently immigrated.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has shown that the African American community underuses professional mental health services and has generally more negative attitudes toward seeking help for mental health challenges than their European American counterparts. Stigma surrounding mental illness and the desire to keep challenges secret from others are two factors that have received much attention in the literature examining this phenomenon (Mishra, Lucksted, Gioia, Barnet, & Baquet, 2009; Thompson, Bazile, & Akbar, 2004; Larson & Chastain, 1990; Cramer, 1999). Further, social support has also been linked to help-seeking attitudes in the African American community, (Pickard, Inoue, Chadiha, & Johnson, 2011; Constantine, Wilton, & Caldwell, 2003). The current study assessed help-seeking attitudes, mental health stigma, self concealment, stigmatizing attitudes towards mental health and mentoring experience in 123 African American/Black college students. Mental health stigma, self-concealment, mentoring experience, and help-seeking attitudes demonstrated statistically significant bivariate correlations in expected directions. Further, a linear multiple regression analysis revealed stigma and self-concealment to be mediators in the relationship between mentoring and help-seeking attitudes. Finally, differences were discovered between mentoring type and mentoring experience. Students with both informal and formal mentors had the best mentoring experience in comparison to students with neither or informal mentor. Results from the current study further support the idea that mentoring relationships play a role in reducing stigma and self-concealment, which contribute to better help-seeking attitudes for African American college students. The importance of mentoring relationships to variables related to better well-being are discussed.
