    DOES PAIN INTENSITY AND PAIN TOLERANCE INFLUENCE ONE’S WILLINGNESS TO SEE A COUNSELOR IN ASIAN AMERICANS?
    (2017) Huh, Gloria; Miller, Matthew J; Education Policy, and Leadership; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)
    The Asian American population continues to underutilize psychological services. This study examined whether pain tolerance and pain intensity played a role in the help-seeking process for Asian American individuals. Moderated mediation was tested to explore whether the relationship between psychological distress and willingness to see a counselor was mediated by pain tolerance and pain intensity, separately; and moderated by Asian American values. Moderation with two moderators was tested with Asian American values and pain tolerance or pain intensity, separately, as two moderators in the relationship between psychological distress and willingness to see a counselor. Moderated mediation and moderation with two moderators were tested using the bias-corrected bootstrapping confidence interval method. There was no evidence to indicate that pain intensity or pain tolerance acted as mediators between the relationship between psychological distress and willingness to see a counselor. However, pain intensity was found to moderate the relationship between psychological distress and willingness to see a counselor. Post hoc analyses were conducted to test specific subscales (depressive symptoms, emotional self-control, willingness to see a counselor for personal problems) and gender differences. Pain tolerance moderated the relationship between depressive symptoms and willingness to see a counselor for personal problems for women. Emotional self-control moderated the relationship between depressive symptoms and willingness to see a counselor for personal problems in the full sample and male sample.

    The Effect of Indirect Interpersonal Exposure to Counseling on Willingness through Attitudes
    (2014) Huh, Gloria; Miller, Matthew J.; Counseling and Personnel Services; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)
    The present study examined whether attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help partially mediated the relationship between the frequency and valence of Asian Americans’ indirect interpersonal exposure to counseling and willingness to see a counselor. Statistically significant indirect effects were found. An exploratory factor analysis revealed that indirect interpersonal exposure to counseling through family members and friends emerged as two distinct factors. Partial mediation was found only for the frequency of indirect interpersonal exposure to counseling through family members on willingness to see a counselor (personal, academic/career, health problems) through attitudes. Using hierarchical linear regression, this study examined whether collectivism moderated the relationship between the frequency and valence of indirect interpersonal exposure to counseling on attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help. Moderation was not found. Collectivism and conformity to norms did not moderate the relationship between indirect interpersonal exposure to counseling through family members and friends on attitudes.
