“…Based on correlation analyses, help-seeking attitudes were not correlated with public stigma nor self-compassion among foreign-born Asian Americans, but these associations were significant among those born in the United States. This converges with previous literature that suggest values of enculturation may impact attitudes but not stigma (Shea & Yeh, 2008) and is significant given that enculturation tends to negatively impact attitudes, whereas acculturation may positively impact help-seeking attitudes (Devitre & Pan, 2020;Miller et al, 2011). In addition, public stigma and self-stigma did not correlate only among those who are This document is copyrighted by the American Psychological Association or one of its allied publishers.…”

“…S. K. Kim & Omizo, 2003). Devitre and Pan (2020) found the internalized values of enculturation, or one’s grade of conformity to their Indigenous values, have a negative impact on Asian Americans’ attitudes toward seeking mental health services. On the other hand, acculturation, or one’s grade of conformity to the values of another group, had a positive impact on mental health seeking attitudes.…”

Self-stigma occurs when one internalizes negative stereotypes surrounding a publicly stigmatized identity or behavior. Asian Americans are likely to have high self-stigma seeking help and high public stigma of receiving psychological help and are less likely to seek mental health care than other Americans, even when experiencing distress. However, self-compassion has been shown to moderate the relationship between public stigma and self-stigma. In this study, Asian Americans (N = 234) were surveyed to address the relationship between public stigma, self-stigma, self-compassion, and mental help-seeking behaviors. A moderated mediation analysis was conducted and results indicated that public stigma predicts reduced mental help-seeking attitudes though self-stigma of seeking help. Self-compassion was found to significantly buffer the relationship between public stigma of receiving psychological help and mental healthseeking attitudes in our sample, but not the relationship between public stigma and self-stigma of seeking help. Clinical Impact StatementThis study suggests that Asian Americans experiencing public stigma of seeking psychological help are more likely to internalize that stigma and therefore less likely to have positive mental health help-seeking attitudes. Interventions designed to increase self-compassion may be helpful in reducing negative mental help-seeking attitudes among publicly stigmatized Asian Americans.

“…Similarly, a systematic review on Filipino individuals identified greater adherence to Asian values as a contributor to a more negative attitude toward help seeking (Martinez et al, 2020). On the contrary, among Asian American adults, acculturation (i.e., absorption of European American values) was found to be a statistically significant predictor of a positive attitude toward help seeking (DeVitre & Pan, 2020). Mistrust of Western culture has been found to have an inverse relationship with attitudes toward help seeking among Filipino Americans (David, 2010).…”

“…Cho et al (2013) evaluates cultural values as antecedents of environmental behaviours, with environmental beliefs as mediators however without considering norms. In a similar vein, DeVitre and Pan (2020) employed values and beliefs as primary variables and utilise the VBN theory to analyse how cultural values affects one's attitudes towards seeking mental health services. Khare (2014), in a study conducted among Indian consumers, find an insignificant effect of personal norms on pro‐environmental behaviour.…”

Anti‐consumption behaviours are frequently seen as an effective way for an individual to mitigate harm done to the natural world and foster sustainability. Despite explicit calls to investigate the drivers of anti‐consumption behaviours, the effect of cultural values on anti‐consumption remains under‐researched. Our research examines the influence of two antecedents, cultural values (individualism and collectivism), and self‐efficacy on anti‐consumption behaviours in an emerging country setting. Our results indicate that cultural values influence anti‐consumption behaviours. Consistent with our expectations, we found that collectivistic values positively influenced anti‐consumption behaviours. This relationship remained valid across anti‐consumption behaviours, such as voluntary simplicity and brand avoidance. Furthermore, beyond our initial expectation, this study demonstrated a positive indirect relationship between individualism and anti‐consumption, which is activated through the self‐efficacy pathway. These findings suggest that approaches for managing anti‐consumption behaviour do not work equally well in all cultures, and that managers may need to fine‐tune their international marketing strategies to ensure their effectiveness.
