“…In practice, replication evidence will often be "weak" as a result of some parameters being estimated from 11 VARYING COEFFICIENT METHODS small samples, which will produce a wide confidence interval. These two replication checks suggest that the results of Vogel et al (2006Vogel et al ( , 2007 and Cantazaro (2009) are weakly compatible with the results of the new study and that the prior results may be combined with the new results to obtain more precise reliability estimates for the Caucasian paper-and-pencil and Latino/Latina Internet conditions.…”

“…Suppose another researcher, inspired by the results of Vogel et al (2006Vogel et al ( , 2007 and Cantazaro (2009), wants to obtain accurate alpha reliability estimates of the SSSH questionnaire for Caucasian and Latino/Latina populations under both paper-and-pencil and Internet formats. Suppose this researcher obtains a random sample of 200 Caucasian college students and a random sample of 200 Latino/Latina college students and randomly divides these two samples in half, with one half completing the questionnaire in a paper-and-pencil format and the other half completing the questionnaire on the Internet.…”

The conventional fixed-effects (FE) and random-effects (RE) confidence intervals that are used to assess the average alpha reliability across multiple studies have serious limitations. The FE method, which is based on a constant coefficient model, assumes equal reliability coefficients across studies and breaks down under minor violations of this assumption. The RE method, which is based on a random coefficient model, assumes that the selected studies are a random sample from a normally distributed superpopulation. The RE method performs poorly in typical meta-analytic applications where the studies have not been randomly sampled from a normally distributed superpopulation or have been randomly sampled from a nonnormal superpopulation. A new confidence interval for the average reliability coefficient of a specific measurement scale is based on a varying coefficient statistical model and is shown to perform well under realistic conditions of reliability heterogeneity and nonrandom sampling of studies. New methods are proposed for assessing reliability moderator effects. The proposed methods are especially useful in meta-analyses that involve a small number of carefully selected studies for the purpose of obtaining a more accurate reliability estimate or to detect factors that moderate the reliability of a scale.

“…The mean of attitude in the intervention group in the present study was 2.86 (SD = 0.44), which was significantly higher than those in Vogel et al's (2005) study ( M = 2.56, SD = 0.53), p < .001 and Cantazaro's (2009) study ( M = 2.66, SD = 0.56), p = .001. The mean of intention to seek help in the intervention group in the present study was 3.70 (SD = 0.83), which was significantly higher than those in the Vogel et al's (2005) study ( M = 2.1, SD = 0.60), p < .001 and Cantazaro's (2009) study ( M = 1.32, SD = 0.39), p < .001.…”

The effects of a multimedia intervention on help‐seeking process with a Chinese college student sample

Little is known about encouraging help‐seeking in non‐English speaking settings and relatively little research has been directed to facilitate help‐seeking among Chinese‐speaking people. This study examined the effects of a multimedia intervention on barriers, attitudes, and intentions for seeking counseling in China. The multimedia intervention was informed by prior empirical research on models of help‐seeking for counseling. A total of 200 participants were randomly assigned to one of the two conditions: (1) a help‐seeking media‐exposed intervention group and (2) a control group, who watched a hospital advertisement that was unrelated to mental health help‐seeking. Results indicated that the intervention was effective at increasing both positive attitudes toward therapy and intentions to seek therapy. The intervention also improved participants' perceptions about treatment accessibility. This intervention is available and can be a resource for Chinese language populations (both within China and other countries), especially for immigrants, rural, and persons who might benefit from mental health treatments such as psychotherapy.

“…Several studies have shown that individuals who have had sought treatment for physical and psychological concerns previously tend to be more willing to access additional services in the future (Blazina & Marks, 2001;Fischer & Farina, 1995). Individuals with prior history of treatment may be less resistant to the idea of help-seeking as a result of familiarity with services and previous personal connection with treatment providers (Cantazaro, 2009). As such, individuals with a history of medical treatment for concerns appear likely to have reduced psychological barriers to accessing medical care in the future.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine how men's perception of barriers to help-seeking for a hypothetical physical health concern is predicted by the following variables: gender role conflict, conformity to masculine norms, physical functioning, age, socioeconomic status, and prior history of healthcare engagement. 275 male participants were recruited via online solicitation from the website Reddit.com. Main and interaction effects for the variables of interest were examined in relation to perceived barriers to help-seeking. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis indicated that gender role conflict, socioeconomic status, and resistance to encouragement from family/friends to seek help were statistically significant main effects, with gender role conflict accounting for 21.4% of variance in barriers. When interaction effects were added in the second step, gender role conflict continued to be the strongest predictor. No interaction terms were found to be statistically significant. These findings suggest that men who are sensitive to gender role conflict are most likely to perceive barriers to help-seeking for physical health problems. Implications for clinical interventions and future research are discussed.
