OBJECTIVES
This study sought to replicate and extend research on social facilitators of college student's help seeking for psychological problems.
PARTICIPANTS
We collected data on 420 ethnically diverse college students at a large public university (September 2008-May 2010).
METHODS
Students completed a cross-sectional online survey.
RESULTS
We found that students who were aware of close others' (eg, family, friends) help seeking were two times more likely to have sought formal (eg, psychologist) and informal (eg, clergy) help themselves. Tests of moderation revealed the incremental effect (ie, controlling for help-seeking attitudes, internalizing symptoms, cultural demographics) of close others' formal help seeking was strong and significant for men (R = 0.112), while it was negligible and nonsignificant for women (R = .002).
CONCLUSIONS
We discuss the importance for students-particularly men-to learn about close others' help seeking for facilitating their own help seeking during times of distress.
目标
本研究旨在重复并拓展关于大学生心理问题求助的社会促进因素的研究。
参与者
我们收集了一所大型公立大学420名不同种族大学生的数据（2008年9月至2010年5月）。
方法
学生们完成了一项横断面在线调查。
结果
我们发现，知晓身边亲近之人（如家人、朋友）求助情况的学生自己寻求正式（如向心理学家求助）和非正式（如向神职人员求助）帮助的可能性要高出两倍。调节效应检验表明，身边亲近之人寻求正式帮助的增量效应（即控制求助态度、内化症状、文化人口统计学因素）对男性而言强大且显著（R = 0.112），而对女性而言可忽略不计且不显著（R = 0.002）。
结论
我们讨论了对于学生，尤其是男性而言，了解身边亲近之人的求助情况对于在困境中促进他们自己寻求帮助的重要性。
