| description | This exploratory study examined attitudes toward professional
psychological services and help provider characteristics among 232
self-identified Italian and Greek American college students in 3
Northeast colleges. Regarding general attitudes toward psychological
services in the Italian American sample, women had a greater
recognition of personal need for help and higher confidence in the ability of
mental health professionals to meet these needs than did men. With
regard to preferred counselor demographic characteristics, regardless
of gender, lower acculturated Italian American students had a stronger
preference for seeing an ethnically similar counselor. With the Greek
American sample, there was an interaction effect between acculturation
level and gender on attitudes toward services. Among the higher
acculturated Greek students, women were more open regarding their
personal concerns than men; however, within the lower acculturated
cohort, no gender differences were found. With regard to
counselor characteristic variables, and similar to Italian
Americans, regardless of gender, lower acculturated Greek
Americans had a stronger preference for seeing an ethnically similar
counselor to discuss a personal problem. Limitations and implications
for further research are noted |
