|a The present study explored several factors that predict psychological help-seeking attitudes among a sample of Croatian (N = 109) and American (N = 70) college students from Croatia and the USA. Cultural values were measured by scores from the: Individualism-Collectivism Scale (INDCOL), Network Orientation Scale (NOS), and Subjective Norms Scale as related to seeing a counselor, and Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help-Short Form Scale (ATSPPHS-SF). The results showed no significant cultural difference between Croatian and American college students as measured by the Individualism-Collectivism scale. On average, Croatian college students did, however, have significantly more negative attitudes toward psychological help-seeking compared to American students. The results also revealed that Croatian students also had significantly more negative subjective norms related to seeing a counselor compared to American students. Croatian students tend to be more influenced by parental and/or societal opinions as related to seeing a counselor. The ethnic difference in social network orientation, a measure of the belief in usefulness of seeking help from other individuals, was not significant in the current sample. Implications and limitations of the results regarding the psychological help seeking attitudes, perceived social support, and cultural differences among these two ethnic groups were discussed. In conclusion, young Croatians are more individualistic and the current Croatia is a transitional not a socialist society. |
