Yeh, Christine J.

Cultural Diversity & Ethnic Minority Psychology, v8 n1 p19-29 Feb 2002

Self-esteem, age, and gender were used to assess attitudes towards seeking psychological services among secondary school and college students. Self-esteem and gender significantly predicted students help-seeking attitudes. A counselor's knowledge of cultural perspectives of self-esteem, as they relate to help-seeking behaviors, will help with effective counseling practices. (JDM)
