“…In addition, the word clergymen was deleted from one item because it was deemed uncommon for Chinese students to receive religious counseling. Tedeschi and Willis (1993) made a similar change when they studied Asian international and native Caucasian students' attitudes toward seeking psychological professional help.…”

“…Studies conducted in the US show that Asian Americans, in general, and less-acculturated Asian Americans, including Chinese Americans, hold less positive attitudes toward seeking help compared to either Anglo-Americans or more acculturated Asian Americans (Atkinson et al 1984;Atkinson and Gim 1989;Kim and Omizo 2003). Research conducted with Asian or non-western international students reveal similar results (Dadfar and Friedlander 1982;Flum 1998;Tedeschi and Willis 1993;Zhang and Dixon 2003). Research conducted in Hong Kong, prior to reunification with China, indicated that adult Chinese were slow to seek professional help for psychological issues (Cheung 1987), and less than half of Hong Kong Chinese college students would be likely to seek help for their problems (Cheung 1984).…”

In this study 1,453 Chinese high school and college students' attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help and factors contributing to attitude differences were examined. Results revealed that Chinese students possessed generally positive attitudes and their attitudes were significantly associated with gender, prior counseling contact and prior knowledge about counseling and psychology. Previous help-seeking behavior for a major problem was predictive of respondent attitudes. Students with a broad range of help-seeking preferences had more positive attitudes than students with a narrower range. Students who sought help from parents or teachers perceived counseling more positively than students not seeking such help; this result was more significant for high school students. College students' attitudes differed more in the area of whether or not to seek help. In addition, family structure was related to two dimensions of attitudes toward help seekinginterpersonal openness and stigma tolerance, but not to attitudes toward seeking psychological help.

“…Among Asian American college students, help-seeking attitudes seem to be moderated in part by gender and level of acculturation (e.g., Atkinson & Gim, 1989). A positive relationship between acculturation and positive help-seeking attitudes has also been found among Asian international students (e.g., Frey & Roysircar, 2006;Tedeschi & Willis, 1993;Zhang & Dixon, 2003).…”

“…Nevertheless, international students are often reluctant to seek counseling (Frey & Roysircar, 2006;Hyun, Quinn, Madon, & Lustig, 2007;Tedeschi & Willis, 1993;Yakushko et al, 2008). Deterrents to counseling services among international students have been linked to client cognitive factors (i.e.…”
