“…The scale consists of 16 items that ask about independent and interdependent construal of the self. Kiuchi (1995) demonstrated that the scale had a one-factor structure and good reliability (Cronbach a= 27). Each item in the scale is phrased as either interdependent (Statement A) or independent (Statement B).…”

The utilization of professional help is affected by individual factors such as help-seeking attitudes and self-concealment as well as the availability of mental health services. The present study examined the role of cultural self-construal and self-concealment on attitudes toward professional psychological services. A survey was conducted with 214 Japanese college students. Multiple regression analyses found that interdependent self-construal significantly predicted the Recognition of Need for Psychological Services. Self-concealment was predictive of two different facets of help-seeking attitudes: Interpersonal Openness and Stigma Tolerance. Future studies are recommended to refine the model that was tested.

Background: Independent-interdependent self-construal is one of the constructs related to self-definition. Independent self-construal is defined as having clear boundaries between self and others and giving greater weight to personal goals as opposed to group goals; interpersonal self-construal, on the other hand, refers to maintaining harmonious, cooperative relationships with others. Previous research has shown that self-construals are related to mental health issues.Methods: A set of questionnaires measuring self-construal, social support, depression, and anxiety was collected from 532 people working at two different workplaces to examine the relationship between self-construals and social support. The structural equation model (SEM) was used to examine the relationship between the variables in high and low social support groups. Results and Conclusion:The result of the SEM suggests that independent self-construal mitigated depression and anxiety in the group with more social support. However, there was no reduction effect on depression and anxiety in the group with less social support. In addition, the older the worker, the less likely they were to have anxiety symptoms when in the group with more social support. Self-construal and social support have effects on psychological symptoms via interactions between the two and that the combination of high social support and independent self-construal is a contributing factor for mitigating depression and anxiety.

“…Similarly, Kernis and Goldman (2006) reported the correlations between authenticity and various indicators of mental health or well-being, such as self-actualization, vitality, psychological stress, mindfulness, identity integration, and eudaimonic and hedonic well-being. Ito and Kodama (2007) reported that scores on the Sense of Authenticity Scale (β = .43, p < .01) were associated with positive affect as measured by the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule Scale (Watson, Clark, & Tellegen, 1988) even after controlling for cultural construal of self (Kiuchi, 1995). This observation suggests that a sense of authenticity may influence the affective aspect of well-being, regardless of individual differences in cultural orientation.…”
