The Relationship

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among Asian American adherence to Asian cultural values, attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help, and willingness to see a counselor. Based on the data from 242 Asian American college students, the results revealed that adherence to Asian cultural values inversely predicted both attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help and general willingness to see a counselor, above and beyond the effects of related demographic variables. The results also indicated that attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help were a perfect mediator on the relationship between adherence to Asian cultural values and willingness to see a counselor in general and between adherence to Asian values and willingness to see a counselor for personal and health problems in particular.

Asian American College Students

This study examines career identity formation of Asian American college students from first-generation immigrant families as a model of acculturation. The interaction between collectivist and individualistic values was explored through analysis of longitudinal interview data. The semistructured interviews were conducted with 12 participants across 4 years of college. We utilized a hybrid deductive–inductive approach for thematic analysis of interviews and matrices to visualize longitudinal trajectories. Factors impacting career identity development were family influence—including cultural values, parental pressure, cultural capital and family obligation, and individual characteristics—including identity style, locus of control, and personal motivation. Longitudinal development proceeded along four trajectories: continual foreclosure, moratorium to achievement, foreclosure to achievement, and continual diffusion. Our results indicate that career identity development for Asian American college students is characterized by the interaction between two cultures and individual characteristics. Implications for counseling and higher education are discussed.
