Individualism-Collectivism, Social-Network Orientation, and Acculturation as Predictors of Attitudes toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help among Chinese Americans.

Tata, Shiraz Piroshaw; Leong, Frederick T. L.

Journal of Counseling Psychology, v41 n3 p280-87 Jul 1994

Used several culturally based variables (individualism-collectivism, social support attitudes, acculturation) and gender to predict patterns of help-seeking attitudes among Chinese American college students (n=219). Each of the independent variables was found to be a significant predictor of attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help. (Author/NB)
