The Effect of Normative and Behavioral Persuasion on Help Seeking in Thai and American College Students
Christopher, Michael S.; Skillman, Gemma D.; Kirkhart, Matthew W.; D'Souza, June B.
Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development, v34 n2 p80 Apr 2006
On the basis of previous research on self-construals, the theory of reasoned action, and persuasive communication, the authors hypothesized that individual, behavioral-focused information would be more effective in increasing help-seeking intention among college students in the United States, whereas relational, normative-focused information would be more effective among college students in Thailand. Results partially supported these predictions, suggesting that different information can enhance help-seeking intention across cultures. (Contains 4 tables.)
