Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Cultural Studies
  • Mental Health Services

Background:

  • Research on culturally diverse clients often examines psychotherapy expectations and counseling intentions.
  • However, links between these factors and specific client behaviors like advice-seeking or audience-seeking are less understood, especially in U.S. racial-ethnic minority groups.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate gender and ethnic preferences for therapists among Polynesian Americans.
  • To examine the mediating roles of advice-seeking and audience-seeking behaviors.
  • To explore associations between these behaviors, counseling intentions, and psychotherapy expectations.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was administered to 593 Polynesian Americans.
  • Data collected included therapist preferences, advice-seeking and audience-seeking behaviors, intention to seek counseling, and psychotherapy expectations.

Main Results:

  • Audience-seeking behavior mediated the relationship between expectations about the psychotherapy process and intention to seek counseling for psychological and interpersonal concerns.
  • Audience-seeking behavior also mediated the association between expectations about psychotherapy outcomes and intention to seek counseling for academic concerns.

Conclusions:

  • Culturally competent counseling is crucial for Polynesian Americans, an understudied population in the U.S.
  • Therapists should consider client expectations, such as audience-seeking behavior, when working with this demographic.
