“…A sample item is “I would want to get psychological help if I were worried or upset for a long period of time.” Fischer and Farina () reported that ATSPPH‐SF scores highly correlated with the full‐scale scores from the original measure, produced a good internal consistency coefficient (α = .84), and predicted past help seeking. The ATSPPH‐SF has demonstrated good internal consistency coefficients in samples of racially/ethnically diverse community adults (Gloria, Castellanos, Segura‐Herrera, & Mayorga, ) and college students (P. Y. Kim & Kendall, ). In the present study, we averaged item responses to generate a scale score and obtained an adequate internal consistency coefficient (α = .83).…”

This study examined self‐stigma of seeking psychological help and mental health literacy as predictors of college students’ (N = 1,535) help‐seeking attitudes, with additional attention to psychological and demographic correlates. Results indicated that mental health literacy predicted help‐seeking attitudes above and beyond self‐stigma. Asian American race/ethnicity, male gender, current psychological distress, and help‐seeking history were also significant predictors. Implications for addressing mental health literacy and self‐stigma while attending to demographic and psychological variations in help seeking are discussed.

“…An acculturation score is acquired by subtracting the mean MOS score from the mean AOS score, whereby a score is identified along a continuum of “very Mexican oriented” to “very Anglo oriented” (Cuellar et al, 1995). Gloria, Castellanos, Segura-Herrera, and Mayorga (2010) assessed Latina/o undergraduates’ orientations relative to attitudes toward seeking counseling and reported Cronbach’s alphas of .70 (AOS) and .87 (MOS). The internal consistency coefficients for the AOS (.69) and MOS (.88) were similarly adequate in the present study, and were therefore used to assess cultural orientation.…”

This study examined the importance of identity and cultural fit within the university on Latina/o undergraduates' academic persistence decisions. The psychosociocultural model (Gloria & Rodriguez, 2000) provided a framework for the study in which 128 Latino/a students' generational level in the United States, cultural congruity, perceptions of the university environment, ethnic identity, and cultural orientation were explored relative to academic persistence decisions. Although each of the model's dimensions collectively informs students' educational experiences, the cultural dimension was emphasized to better understand its role for Latino/a undergraduates within higher education. Specifically, results of 3 mediating analyses supported the mediating role of university environment on academic persistence for students with an Anglo orientation, but not for those with a Mexican orientation. Similarly, results from 3 moderator analyses revealed a moderating role of generational level in the United States for Latina/o undergraduates with a Mexican orientation and a stronger ethnic identity, but not for those with an Anglo orientation. Overall, student services personnel should focus on meaning and adherence to values for first-generation students and sense of university cultural fit for second-generation plus students in addressing academic persistence decisions. Additional practice implications for student services personnel in higher education and directions for further research are discussed.

“…To our knowledge, measurement equivalence of the ATSPPH-SF with Latino populations has yet to be reported. Still this measure has been used extensively across Latino groups including university students (Gloria et al, 2010; Miville & Constantine, 2006; Ramos-Sanchez & Atkinson, 2009), Latino men from the community (Davis & Liang, 2015), and older adults (Hartlaub et al, 2014; Jang et al, 2011).…”

Assessing the Psychometric Proprieties of the Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale–Short Form (ATSPPH-SF) Among Latino Adults

The Latino population continues to underutilize mental health services at an alarming rate. The Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale–Short Form (ATSPPH-SF) is one of the most commonly used instruments to assess help-seeking attitudes. The current study sought to evaluate the factor structure and test for the presence of differential item functioning on the ATSPPH-SF with a sample of Latino adult individuals across nativity status (U.S.- vs. foreign-born), language format (English vs. Spanish), and gender. The analyses revealed two relatively independent factors named Openness to Seeking Treatment and Value and Need in Seeking Treatment. Measurement equivalence and practical implications are discussed in the context of use with Latino individuals.
