In the present study, we tested a theoretically and empirically derived partially indirect effects acculturation and enculturation model of Asian American college students' mental health and attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help. Latent variable path analysis with 296 self-identified Asian American college students supported the partially indirect effects model and demonstrated the ways in which behavioral acculturation, behavioral enculturation, values acculturation, values enculturation, and acculturation gap family conflict related to mental health and attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help directly and indirectly through acculturative stress. We also tested a generational status moderator hypothesis to determine whether differences in model-implied relationships emerged across U.S.- (n = 185) and foreign-born (n = 107) participants. Consistent with this hypothesis, statistically significant differences in structural coefficients emerged across generational status. Limitations, future directions for research, and counseling implications are discussed.
在本研究中，我们测试了一个理论上和经验上得出的部分间接影响的美籍亚裔大学生心理健康和寻求专业心理帮助态度的文化适应和涵化模型。对 296 名自我认同的美籍亚裔大学生进行潜在变量路径分析支持了部分间接影响模型，并展示了行为文化适应、行为涵化、价值观文化适应、价值观涵化以及文化适应差距家庭冲突通过文化适应压力直接和间接地与心理健康和寻求专业心理帮助态度相关的方式。我们还测试了代际地位调节假设，以确定模型隐含关系是否因美国出生（n=185）和外国出生（n=107）参与者的不同而有所差异。与该假设一致，代际地位在结构系数上存在显著差异。讨论了局限性、未来研究方向和咨询意义。
