▼ The purpose of the study was to explore the statistical relationships among selected variables related to gay divorced fathers in order to develop a better understanding of their gender role conflict and help-seeking behaviors. Participants (N=105) self-identified as Caucasian (91%), resided in the United States (90%), holding a bachelor's degree or higher (80%), and annual incomes of less than $80,000 (52%). The men ranged in age from 29 to 78 (M= 54), married from 1 to 38 years (M= 18), and divorced from 5 months to just under 37 years (M= 10). Participants completed an on-line questionnaire that included (a) Gender Role Conflict Scale, (b) Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale, (c) Intentions to Seeking Counseling Inventory, (d) Hopkins Symptom Checklist, (e) two open-ended prompts, and (f) demographic questions. Participants who had received mental health services in the past were asked to report on what prompted them to seek services and the helpfulness of those services. Analysis of Pearson r was used to answer each of the research questions related to (a) GRC and psychological distress (positive correlation); (b) GRC and attitudes and intentions towards seeking psychological help (negative correlation); and (c) years married and psychological distress (negative correlation). Significance was not identified between time since divorce and any other variable. Over 80% of the participants had used mental health services with the three main reasons being coming-out, depression, and sexual identity. The most beneficial resources they had available to them and/or they would recommend to others were support groups, counseling/therapy, and general support. Findings are limited by a lack of cultural and ethnic diversity among the sample. Implications include using group counseling methods and/or a coaching model for service delivery. An informed integrated approach that focuses on systems, role development, and strategic thinking is recommended. Interventions should include depression and suicide assessments, brief solution focused methods, narrative work, social networking, and community resource guides. Future research should seek to determine between group differences with regards to the impact GRC has on one's ability to adjust to change, establish and maintain relationships, and willingness to seek help.

▼ Past research consistently found prevalent negative and reluctant attitudes towards seeking psychotherapy or counselling when facing emotional distress among individuals in Taiwanese society. Building on the literature, the underlying mechanisms in the relationship between these attitudes and the uniqueness of Chinese cultural values, especially its influence on views regarding emotional and mental difficulty are valuable to look into. The current study adopted an explanatory sequential mixed methods design to approach how Taiwanese mothers with a Chinese cultural inheritance view professional psychological help and the possible mechanisms underlying the formation of their attitudes. Overall findings suggest that being immersed in the Chinese cultural context does has implication on how Taiwanese mothers see professional psychological help. In phase one, parallel mediation analysis of the survey data suggested that Taiwanese mothers’ cultural inheritance affect their attitudes towards seeking professional psychological help indirectly through mediators including emotion regulatory strategies and stigmatization against mental illness. However, the mediating role of emotion expressivity was not supported, despite being a significant predictor. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of in-depth interviews with 10 Taiwanese mothers in phase two unveiled possible rationales behind the relationships found in phase one along with other imperative contributors. Possible reasons include being at risk of being associated with mental illness and stigmatized if one tries to seek professional psychological help. Being restrained by complex emotion expression rules and habits of using suppression as a regulatory strategy may also be hindrances to positive views of professional psychological help. Complicated emotion expression rules found provide possible explanations of emotion expressivity not being a significant mediator. Overall findings provide future directions for research aiming to better understand attitudes towards professional psychological help in different cultural contexts, and for practitioners and policy makers especially in Taiwan to develop culturally sensitive approaches in advocating professional psychological help for the general public.

▼ Chinese international students have become an increasingly significant presence on tertiary campuses worldwide, with over 928,000 enrolled globally in higher education in 2017. The mental health of tertiary students has been recognised as a significant public health concern and the unique challenges faced by Chinese international students place them at higher risk of mental distress than domestic or other international students. However, there is a scarcity of literature focussing on the mental health of Chinese international students both internationally and in a New Zealand context. This study was undertaken to gather preliminary data on the existence and prevalence of psychological distress among Chinese international students at Victoria University of Wellington. It also investigated the help-seeking preferences of Chinese international students, their engagement with counselling services or barriers preventing engagement with counselling support, and their knowledge and use of additional university support services. Participants’ views on managing stress and their advice for newly arrived Chinese students were also explored. A mixed methods approach was utilised to gather both quantitative and qualitative data via an online survey, utilising the Kessler-10 to measure psychological distress in conjunction with a variety of categorical and free-text response questions to gather other information. The survey was sent to all Chinese international students at Victoria University of Wellington in 2017. A total of 205 Chinese international students responded to the survey, from 836 enrolled students (response rate 24.5%). Results indicate that the majority of the Chinese international student population at Victoria suffer from high levels of psychological distress (K10=23.33, SD=6.97). These results are comparable with studies of Chinese students who study abroad, or in their home country. Consistent with international research, participants preferred to use informal sources of support, most notably their parents and friends when stressed. They rated academic staff and student services as the supports they would be least likely to turn to when stressed. Despite the high levels of psychological distress reported, very few participants had sought formal mental health support, with only 12.3% of the sample accessing Student Counselling while studying at Victoria. Cultural and practical barriers impacted their decision to utilise the service and they provided recommendations to make the service better known amongst the student group to improve uptake. Participants’ advice to new Chinese students included getting involved, developing friendships with fellow students, improving English proficiency, and asking for help when needed. The findings from this study support the growing body of literature that Chinese international tertiary students are in need of additional culturally appropriate interventions throughout their university journey to improve their wellbeing, their awareness and use of support services, and to aid… Advisors/Committee Members: Cornwall, Jon, Sim, Kwong-Nui.

▼ Psychotherapy scholars have devoted considerable attention to resolving the question of how psychotherapy works: do specific psychological interventions target distinct psychopathologies, or do the nonspecific factors common to all forms of therapy—such as a compassionate therapist and a cogent rationale for treatment—account for successful treatment outcomes? Despite decades of psychotherapy process and outcome research, a clear answer has yet to emerge from the empirical data. Among psychotherapy consumers, however, recent evidence suggests a marked preference for common factors relative to specific interventions (“ingredients”). The present studies tested the notion that the public preference for therapy framed by common factors stems in part from the belief that the alternative, therapy which focuses on treating pathology(specific ingredients), carries a relatively higher risk of social stigmatization. Participants recruited from Amazon’s Mechanical Turk service (N = 98; Study 1) and SocialSci.com (N = 375; Study 2) each rated their attitudes toward seeking two varieties of psychotherapy: one emphasizing nonspecific common factors, and one emphasizing specific evidence-based therapy ingredients. Consistent with prior research, analyses revealed an overall preference for therapy framed by common factors. Differences in participants’ perceptions of stigmatization by others for seeking each type of therapy partially mediated this effect, supporting the specific ingredients stigma model articulated in Chapter 1. Exploratory analyses revealed that therapy preferences depended on whether participants considered treatment for themselves or for another person, and on the type of psychological problem participants anticipated experiencing. Implications for research and for campaigns attempting to improve public attitudes toward psychotherapy are discussed.

▼ Student-athletes encounter a series of unique stressors associated with their athletic status that can compromise their well-being (Beauchemin, 2012; Brown et al., 2014; Parham, 1993; Valentine & Taub, 1999). There is evidence to suggest that demands on student-athletes’ increase their risk for experiencing certain mental and physical distress (e.g., eating disorders, anxiety, depression) (Brown et al., 2014; Etzel et al., 2006; Rice et al., 2016). Further, student-athletes are less likely to seek help from mental health professionals than their non-athlete peers (Watson, 2005). The purpose of this study was to understand the role that communication plays in socializing student-athletes, and how communication influences their perceptions of seeking mental health services. The research questions in this study were the following: 1) What are the memorable messages student-athletes receive that inform their perceptions of seeking mental health services? 2) Which sources who deliver the memorable messages have the greatest impact on student-athletes’ attitudes and perceptions of seeking mental health services? This study utilized Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR) to conduct and analyze in-depth interviews about Division I student-athletes’ experiences and context surrounding the memorable messages received, with the intention of identifying themes that capture the impact the messages have had on their help-seeking attitudes and behaviors. The current body of research provides evidence that memorable messages student-athletes received have positively and negatively influenced their attitudes and behaviors towards seeking professional help. Findings from this current study revealed that, across the two domains that directly answered the research questions, there were five general categories and seven typical categories indicating there were commonalities in the memorable messages received and significant sources who communicated them. All participants identified and recalled specific memorable messages, both positive and negative, regarding seeking mental health services; however, overall student-athletes received a higher frequency of positive messages. The common theme around the positive messages student-athletes received were some variation of “It’s ok to not be ok” while the theme around the negative messages received were rooted in sport culture norms such as “Athletes are supposed to be tough” and “You’re weak if you need help.” The significant sources who most influenced student-athletes’ perceptions of seeking mental health services were coaches and family (parents, dad, mom, sister, and uncle).

▼ Youth homelessness is a serious concern in the United States that is commonly influenced by family conflict and parental maltreatment leading youth to flee their homes. Early traumatic experiences, combined with high rates of victimization, contribute to elevated levels of depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance abuse, and suicidality among homeless and runaway youth. A small number of studies have been conducted on mental health service use among homeless and runaway youth, with the majority of those studies reporting an under-utilization of services. The current study provides an analysis of homeless and runaway youths??? attitudes towards mental health services in order to identify possible factors that can assist service providers with understanding and increasing service engagement. Variables examined included help seeking propensity, psychological openness, concern for mental health stigma, parental maltreatment, street victimization and services needs assessment. The current study also examines the relationship between social support and attitudes toward mental health services. A comparison sample of housed youth was obtained in order to determine if mental health attitudes are unique to homeless youth. Fifty-six youth who identified as homeless were recruited through youth drop-in centers and a shelter in Northern California, and 97 housed youth were recruited from alternative community continuation schools in the same region. Analysis of variance showed that homeless and housed groups did not differ significantly on attitudes toward mental health services, help seeking propensity, psychological openness, and concern for mental health stigma. Additional findings revealed that, for homeless youth, the more perceived friend support, the more their concern for mental health stigma decreased and the more supportive individuals available, the more positive attitudes toward mental health services and help seeking propensity increased. Comparison of correlations between homeless and housed groups revealed only one significant difference; the association between perceived family support and help seeking propensity was strongest for the housed group than for the homeless group. Results demonstrated that homeless youth and housed youth share similar attitudes toward mental health services, help seeking propensity, psychological openness, and concern for mental health stigma. Mean scores obtained on these measures were comparable to the only existing study on adolescents??? attitudes toward mental health services, which suggested that these attitudes might be typical across multiple youth populations. Findings also indicate that higher social support is associated with increased attitudes toward mental health services, increased help seeking propensity, and decreased concern for mental health stigma for homeless youth and high perceived family support is associated with increased help seeking propensity for housed youth. Service providers can benefit from these results by modifying programs or… Advisors/Committee Members: Howe, Tasha.

▼ The purpose of the study was to better understand predictive factors related to students’ likelihood to seek help at the university counseling center. While demographic and psychological variables have been identified as predictive factors in many empirical studies, a review of the literature identifies a gap in research related to sense of belonging and campus environment factors associated with help-seeking. There are two research questions that guide the study: 1) What individual influences affect undergraduate likelihood to seek help from the university counseling center for a personal or emotional problem? How does that influence vary across campuses? 2) How do institutional factors relate to undergraduates’ likelihood to seek help from the university counseling center? This study utilized survey data from two campuses; Large Public University (LPU) (N = 226) and Medium Private University (MPU) (N = 145). Interview data were also collected on both campuses, with a sample of 5 at each campus. Block-run regression analyses and interview data were utilized to answer research question one. Interview data, used to answer research question two, were examined through Carspecken’s (1996) “critical qualitative research.” For LPU, (N = 226), findings suggested that gender (b = -.192, p < .05); hours enrolled (b = .484, p < .001); and current campus counseling (b = .841, p < .05) had significant relationships with likelihood to seek help. In terms of ethnicity, as compared to White students, findings suggested that Asian Americans (b = .301, p < .01), African Americans (b = -.550, p < .001), and Hispanics (b = .277, p < .01) all had significant relationships with likelihood to seek help. Distress (b = 2.586, p < .001); Attitude Toward Psychological Help-Seeking (b = 5.506, p < .001); Social Provisions (b = -1.643, p < .001); and Self-concealment (b = -2.207, p < .001) all had significant relationships with likelihood to access professional counseling on campus. For the MPU campus, (N = 145), findings suggested grade point average (b = 4.762, p < .001); hours enrolled (b = -.144, p < .05); current counseling (b = .547, p < .001) had significant relationships with likelihood to seek help. In terms of ethnicity, African Americans (b = .265, p < .01), Hispanics (b = .166, p < .05), and Non-residents (b = .145, p < .05), as compared to White students, were more statistically likely to seek help at the counseling center on campus. Distress (b = .375, p < .01); Attitude Toward Psychological Help-Seeking (b = .724, p < .001); Social Provisions (b = -.186, p < .01); and Self-concealment (b = -.603, p < .01) all had significant relationships with likelihood to access counseling on campus. Qualitative findings across campuses suggested individual differences existed, but there is little difference between campuses as it relates to students’ likelihood to seek help. Sense of belonging on both campuses, from a social and academic standpoint, is highly individualized on both campuses and students feel positively… Advisors/Committee Members: Horn, Catherine L.

Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Psychology 2011.

Adolescent sexual assault is a pervasive social problem that can have long-term negative consequences for victims' emotional well-being and physical health. In an effort to prevent these problems, survivors are encouraged to seek formal help from the legal and medical systems. Previous research has provided a preliminary understanding of who adolescents disclose to and when; but how and why survivors disclose to informal support providers and eventually seek formal help remains to be investigated. To fill this gap, the current study used an ecological theoretical framework to study the dynamic process of adolescent sexual assault help-seeking. Utilizing qualitative data from 20 interviews with adolescent female sexual assault survivors who entered formal help systems, the findings revealed the significance of individual-level beliefs, assault characteristics, peer and family microsystems, mesosystem interactions, and chronosystem factors. Specifically, negative anticipatory beliefs about how others would react to risky behavior and being assaulted by an acquaintance hindered how soon after the assault survivors were likely to disclose and who survivors chose to disclose to. Given these beliefs, survivors were more likely to first disclose to peers followed by their mothers/guardians. As a result, the interactions within the peer and family microsystems were decisive in how survivors continued to disclose and how willing they were to enter formal systems. Furthermore, the process of disclosure and help-seeking became more complex when family, school, and peer microsystems interacted. When these interconnections occurred with survivors' consent and produced a helpful response, they were perceived as positive. Alternatively, mesosystems in which survivors had minimal control resulted in unwanted disclosures and greater reluctance to enter formal systems. Finally, the chronosystem played a salient role among adolescents with a prior history of sexual or physical abuse. Those who had been previously victimized disclosed more readily and were more determined to seek justice, even if their prior help-seeking experiences had gone poorly. Overall, the current study suggests that disclosure and help-seeking is a dynamic and complex process involving multiple intersecting systems. The findings highlight the utility of an ecological theoretical approach to study sexual assault disclosure and suggest that future studies become attune to higher-level interactions among ecological systems. Finally, the conclusions bring forth the need for community-based interventions that will improve the response from support providers in order to make the disclosure process easier and beneficial for survivors' recovery and well-being.

▼ This project introduces a new measure, Beliefs and Evaluations About Counseling Scale (BEACS), based on social psychological theories of attitudes, including the Multiattribute Model of Attitudes (MMA) and the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA). Applying a MMA formula, two scales (beliefs and evaluations) linked with the BEACS were constructed. The BEACS was also designed to incorporate subjective and normative beliefs and attitudes based on the concept of social norms (SN) from the TRA. Three studies were conducted. Study 1 employed a qualitative approach to generate scale items. Forty-three college students participated. A thematic analysis led to the identification of 61 items for each of the belief and evaluation scales. Study 2 explored latent variables tied to the BEACS by administering the initial item pool to 497 college students. Results of factor analyses yielded five and six factor solutions that seemed valid. In Study 3, the five- and six-factor models were tested through a confirmatory factor analysis using an independent sample of 183 college students. It was determined that the BEACS was best represented by 28 pairs of items (beliefs & evaluations) and five factors: Expectancy for Positive Outcome, Tolerance for Negative Outcome, Tolerance for Negative Quality, Expectancy for Positive Norm, and Tolerance for Negative Norm. This factor solution was consistent with the factors tied to the Thoughts About Psychotherapy Survey. Furthermore, the BEACS Expectancy for Positive Outcome and the Expectancy for Positive Norm factors were consistent with two TRA components: general attitudes and social norms. In Study 3, support was also found for the known-group validity of the BEACS. Results revealed that women, counseling users, and people who have thought of seeking counseling scored higher on two subscales of the BEACS. Convergent and predictive validity of the BEACS was evaluated using the Beliefs About Psychological Services (BAPS). Results indicated moderate correlations between responses to the five BEACS subscales and the three BAPS subscales (Intent, Stigma Tolerance, & Expertness). Subsequent regression analyses revealed that four of the five BEACS subscales were significant predictors of the BAPS Intent factor. The BEACS was additionally found to possess high internal consistency reliability. Strengths, limitations and implications for research and practice are discussed.

Empirical thesis.

Bibliography: pages 163-183.

Chapter 1. Introduction – Chapter 2. Industry context – Chapter 3. FIFO employment : evidence from the literature – Chapter 4. Conceptual framework and model – Chapter 5. Methodology – Chapter 6. Results – Chapter 7. Discussion and conclusions – References – Appendices.

The psychosocial health outcomes for fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) workers can been strongly influenced by whether or not they seek help and support. Yet there is an apparent puzzle whereby an increase in psychological distress can lead to a decrease in help-seeking. This may be due to an employee's heightened perceptions of mental health stigma, although research is yet to explain the underlying causes. Despite public interest and recent parliamentary inquiries into the mental health of fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) employees in the Australian mining industry, there is currently little empirical evidence to help explain this issue. Concerns about FIFO employee mental health and anecdotal reports of increased prevalence in this group have precipitated some empirical assessments using valid measures of mental health symptoms. The importance of examining mental health among the FIFO workforce and what factors influence this, and those variables that subsequently explain help-seeking among FIFO employees has been highlighted by some previous research.

Drawing on the Process Theory of Help-Seeking, the Theory of Planned Behaviour and the Jobs-Demands Resources model, this study surveyed the psychological wellbeing and help-seeking intentions of 629 FIFO employees in the Western Australian mining industry. A quantitative research strategy was employed, with a questionnaire survey used to collect FIFO workers' perceptions on adjustment, psychological wellbeing, stigma, help-seeking and job demands. The structural relationships between study variables were analysed to test the study hypotheses through the use of structural equation modelling (SEM). The thesis investigated (i) the mediating role of stigma on the links between adjustment, psychological distress and help-seeking, and (ii) the moderating role of job demands on these processes. The results showed that the demands of high-compression work rosters and long work hours affected how well FIFO workers could adjust and, in turn, contributed to psychological distress, signalling a need for prevention strategies to better protect the wellbeing of the mining workforce. The results also demonstrated that adjustment, psychological wellbeing and stigma all influenced employee help-seeking. This is a significant finding because it helps to predicate intervention and prevention strategies. In other words, the study contains practical implications for treating the psychological distress of FIFO mining employees, an area severely lacking in empirical research. Overall, the results of this thesis makes a contribution in terms of theory, research, and prevention and early intervention programs.
