Abstract
The underutilization of mental health services by Chinese individuals in the United States is concerning. In this study, we examined Chinese individuals’ help-seeking intentions utilizing the theory of planned behavior. Two hundred fifty-one participants were recruited for this study. The results revealed that help-seeking attitudes (β = 0.28, p < 0.001), perceived behavioral control (β = 0.21, p < 0.001), and subjective norms (β = 0.13, p < 0.001) were found to be significant predictors of help-seeking intentions. The implications of the results are discussed.
在美华人对心理健康服务的利用不足令人担忧。本研究运用计划行为理论考察了中国个体的求助意向。这项研究招募了251名参与者。结果显示,大学生的求助态度(β = 0.28, p <0.001),感知行为控制(β = 0.21, p <0.001)和主观规范(β = 0.13, p <0.001)被发现是寻求帮助意图的重要预测因子。讨论了研究结果的意义。
