“…As for nationality, many studies confirmed a relationship between cultural background and help‐seeking when considering differences between Asian and other ethnic groups. For example, Brownson et al (), Cheng et al (), Choi and Miller (), and Kam et al () found that Asians had less favourable attitudes towards help‐seeking, less help‐seeking intentions and were less likely to seek help compared to other ethnic groups. Fourteen studies did not find a relationship.…”

Universities admit increasingly diverse student cohorts with varying academic entry standards. To address students' varying academic prerequisites, academic support servicessuch as literacy and numeracy supportare offered to ensure student success. However, students often do not engage. Aimed at mapping variables related to a student's decision to seek academic help in order to identify gaps, this systematic scoping review informs future research and supports the provision of academic support services for diverse student cohorts. As recent research does not provide sufficient evidence, the areas of psychological, physiological and help-seeking in career counselling were included. Informed by the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), database and reference list searches were conducted for age, gender, nationality and cultural background, acculturation, stigma, socioeconomic status, educational background, help-seeking experience, perceived behavioural control, attitudes, locus of control, personality and subjective norms, and 168 primary research studies were included in the review. Studies were selected based on their publication year, and the context and the variables examined. Information from the studies was systematically entered into a database and organised. Findings show that gender, stigma, help-seeking experience, attitudes and subjective norms are crucial for help-seeking in general. More specifically, gender, age, cultural background and personality seem to be related to academic help-seeking and should therefore be considered when evaluating or designing academic support services. Although other variables were examined in some studies, no trends could be identified for these due to ambivalent results, indicating that the variables related to academic help-seeking may depend on the context. This review also revealed that there are gaps that should be addressed in future research concerning academic help-seeking behaviour, while at the same time, if possible, including all variables identified in this review.

“…Most studies used quantitative designs – either experimental designs ( n = 2; Y. J. Wong, Wang, et al, 2014; Zane & Ku, 2014) or correlational: cross-sectional designs, using analytical methods such as regression, path analysis, or analysis of variance ( n = 7; e.g., N.-Y. Choi & Miller, 2014) – while only one study used a qualitative design (interviews; L.…”

This 2014 review of Asian American psychology is the sixth review in the series. It includes 316 articles that met the inclusion criteria established by the past five annual reviews. Featured articles were derived from three sources: 137 were generated via the search term “Asian American” in PyscINFO, 111 were generated via a search for specific Asian American ethnic groups, and 32 were generated via author searches of articles that met the inclusion criteria. The top primary topic was health and health-related behaviors, the most frequently employed study design was cross-sectional, and the most studied Asian American ethnic group was Chinese. This year’s review includes information on the target population of the primary topic, the age range and developmental period of participants, and whether the study design was cross-sectional or longitudinal. It also identifies top authors and journals contributing to the 2014 annual review. These new features reveal that the most common target population of the primary topic was youths; studies most commonly included emerging adults ages 18–25; cross-sectional study design was employed more often than longitudinal design; the top contributor to the 2014 review was Stephen Chen, who authored the highest number of papers included; and the Asian American Journal of Psychology generated the highest number of publications for this review.

“…In addition, although both perceived and personal stigma have been found to be relevant for Asian populations, perceived stigma has been shown to be higher in this population (Eisenberg et al, ), a finding which has been explained by literature indicating that Asian populations are more likely than their peers to avoid deviating from social norms (Yang et al, ). Furthermore, although not always differentiating between types, stigma, particularly perceived stigma, has been linked to negative attitudes toward professional psychological help seeking in Asian American populations (Choi & Miller, ; Miville & Constantine, ; Shea & Yeh, ).…”

This study examined (a) the roles of perceived and personal stigma on attitudes toward professional psychological help seeking and (b) the effects of these constructs across gender in South Asians. Personal stigma and being male was negatively associated with attitudes toward professional psychological help seeking; no difference in the association between personal and perceived stigma and attitudes across genders was found. These findings have implications for the engagement of South Asians in mental health services in the United States. Este estudio examinó (a) los roles de estigmas percibidos y personales en las actitudes hacia la búsqueda de ayuda psicológica profesional y (b) los efectos de estos constructos en indiviuos sudasiáticos según su sexo. El estigma personal y la identidad masculina se asociaron negativamente con las actitudes hacia la búsqueda de ayuda psicológica profesional; no se halló diferencia en la asociación entre estigmas personales y percibidos y las actitudes de los distintos sexos. Estos hallazgos tienen implicaciones para la participación de los individuos sudasiáticos en los servicios de salud mental en Estados Unidos.
