Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite prevalence rates of mental illness comparable to other ethnic groups, the Asian American population underutilizes psychological services. In 2001, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services made it their priority to work toward eliminating mental health disparities, reducing barriers, and improving access to mental health treatment. Unfortunately in 2012, Sue, Cheng, Saad, and Chu reported little progress in eliminating disparities in access to mental health services for the Asian American population. Their report concluded that the role of acculturation-related factors related to help-seeking attitudes requires further research. The current study used a meta-analytic methodology to investigate acculturation and enculturation-related factors that may be related with help-seeking attitudes. This meta-analytic approach is of particular significance, as the overall magnitude of the relationship between acculturation help-seeking attitudes has been inconsistent in existing research. This study examined the relationship of the predictor variables: acculturation and enculturation, with the outcome variable, help-seeking attitudes. Results indicated a minimal relationship between acculturation and help-seeking attitudes. Ethnic subgroup differences were identified which may account for the heterogeneity of the relationship between acculturation and help-seeking attitudes in prior research. Results also indicated a significant negative relationship between enculturation and help-seeking attitudes. The enculturation-related variables of stigma toward mental health, loss of face, and filial piety were negatively correlated with help-seeking attitudes. Enculturation did not moderate the relationship between acculturation and help-seeking attitudes suggesting a bilinear process of acculturation. Additionally, generational status was a significant predictor of help-seeking attitudes. These findings may prove to be important targets for outreach intervention efforts aimed at increasing psychological help-seeking attitudes among Asian Americans. Implications, limitations, and future directions for research are discussed. Keywords : Asian American, acculturation, enculturation, help-seeking attitudes.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: This study investigated the relationship between multiethnic identities and help-seeking attitudes among Asian Americans. Hypothesis: Asian Americans with a strong sense of American identity will show a more favorable help seeking attitude and those with a strong sense of ethnic identity will show a less favorable help seeking attitude. Women have a greater help seeking attitude compared to men. Methods: Participants (N=101) completed an online survey about ethnic identity, American identity, and help seeking attitudes. Results: Ethnic identity and American identity did not show a significant relationship. Ethnic identity and American identity did not yield a significant relationship with help-seeking attitudes. Lastly, gender did not produce a significant association with help-seeking attitude. Discussion: American identity and ethnic identity moved in the positive direction, so the theory of biculturalism was examined. The positive direction between ethnic identity and help-seeking attitudes supports prior research that ethnic identity might be a protective factor that assists in seeking help. On the other hand, American identity was inverse to help-seeking attitudes, which is contrary to numerous studies about the Westernized perspective of help-seeking attitudes. Possible implications to social work is the consideration of incorporating ethnic identity discovery during therapy sessions and celebrating cultural diversity within our society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzed the relationship between acculturation and positive professional help seeking attitude among Asian-Americans. The Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans, Modified for Asian Americans (ARSMA), consists of four subfactors: Reading/Writing, Language, Social Interaction and Ethnic Identity. The attitude measure, the Attitude Toward Seeking Professional, Psychological Help Scale, consists of four factors: Stigma Tolerance, Confidence in Mental Health Practitioners, Recognition of Need and Openness. These two self report measures were administered to participants who identified themselves as Asian-American in the San Francisco Bay Area (N=104). The author hypothesized that there is a positive relationship between acculturation and positive help seeking attitude. An exploratory hypothesis was made that there will be an interaction between factors of the acculturation measure, ARSMA, and factors of the attitude measure, ATSPPHS. The results indicated that there is a negative relationship between the acculturation factor Reading/Writing and the attitude factor Confidence in Mental Health Practitioners. These findings suggest that, as Asian-Americans ability to read and write in English decreases, their confidence in mental health practitioners increases. As for the exploratory hypothesis, a hierarchical regression showed a significant interaction between ARSMA factors Language and Social Interaction and Reading/Writing and Social Interaction on the ATSPPHS Factor Confidence in Mental Health Practitioners. These findings suggest that participants who scored lower on language have lower confidence in mental health professional as their level of social interactions with individuals outside of their ethnic group increased. Also, participants who scored lower on Reading/Writing had lower confidence in mental health professionals as their level of social interaction with individuals outside of their ethnic group increased.

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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stigma continues to play an integral role in the multifaceted issues facing mental health. While identifying a clear operational definition of stigma has been a challenge in the field, the issues related to stigma grossly affect not only the mental health population but society as a whole. Deconstructing Stigma in Mental Health provides emerging research on issues related to stigma as a whole including ignorance, prejudice, and discrimination. While highlighting issues such as stigma and its role in mental health and how stigma is perpetuated in society, this publication explores the historical context of stigma, current issues and resolutions through intersectional collaboration, and the deconstruction of mental health stigmas. This book is a valuable resource for mental health administrators and clinicians, researchers, educators, policy makers, and psychology professionals seeking information on current mental health stigma trends.
