“…The absence of ethnic group differences on reported disclosure were quite surprising in light of past research suggesting significant AngloHispanic variance on this dimension (21). The present results may be due to the global nature of the Anglo-Hispanic comparison.…”

“…For example, LeVine and Franco (21) found that if total self-disclosure scores are analyzed, females disclose more than males and Hispanics disclose less than AngloAmericans. However, when the gender and ethnicity of the administrator were varied, the trend was not maintained.…”

“…Theoretically, the individual who never discloses or the individual who discloses a great amount indiscrimintely may be perceived by others as maladjusted (19). Others have proposed that amount of self-disclosure is dependent on the individual's personality (5,8,9), gender (13,14,20,21), and ethnicity (21,32). Thus, several studies have found that females disclose more than males and that some ethnic minorities, specifically Black, Puerto Rican, and Mexican American, disclose less than Anglo-Americans.…”

“…However, even when foreign-born mothers speak English, or school teachers speak Spanish, or if translators are available, foreign-born mothers may feel less comfortable than U.S.-born mothers in disclosing information concerning their children's mental health problems to school personnel. Past research suggests that, compared to persons of other cultures, Hispanics may be less likely to disclose sensitive information to strangers (Franco, Malloy, & Gonzalez, 1984;LeVine & Franco, 1981;LeVine & Padilla, 1980). Therefore, Mexican-born mothers may be less likely than U.S.-born mothers to report such personal concerns to school officials, even if the U.S.-born mothers also are Hispanic.…”

Utilization of various types of services for children's mental health problems was examined among 112 agricultural farm worker families. Pairs of mothers and children (aged 8 to 11) were interviewed using the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children and the Child and Adolescent Services Assessment. Sixty-four percent of the children met criterion for one or more psychiatric diagnoses. Children with a psychiatric diagnosis were five times more likely to see a health professional for a mental health problem compared to children without a psychiatric diagnosis However, less than half of the children with a psychiatric diagnosis saw a health professional for their mental health problems. Families also consulted with school professionals, religious leaders, and non-professionals (such as friends) concerning their children's mental health, but families of children who had a psychiatric diagnosis were not significantly more likely to report these types of consultations than were families of children who did not have a psychiatric diagnosis. These findings are discussed in terms of recommendations for improving the mental health service delivery system for rural children.

“…Researchers have examined the effects of counsellor race on client preference for the counsellor (e.g., Proctor & Rosen, 1981), client satisfaction (e.g., Ewing, 1974), counsellor credibility (e.g., Levine & Franco, 1981), counselling process (e.g., Porche & Banikitoes, 1982), and premature termination (e.g., Ten'ell & Terrell, 1984).…”

The purpose of the present study was to examine how counsellor race influences client evaluation of counselling effectiveness. It was predicted that ethnic minority counsellors would be perceived less favorably than the Caucasian counsellor. Three groups of secondary school students viewed a 10-minute videotaped stimulus interview, with different introductions for the stimulus counsellor's race (Caucasian, Native Indian, and East Indian). The dependent measure, perceived counselling effectiveness, was obtained and compared among counsellor races by analysis of variance. The results showed that the ethnic minority counsellors were perceived more favorably than the Caucasian counsellor. No differential effect was found in client perception of non-verbal behaviors. Implications of the findings are discussed.
