The integrated behavioral model of mental health help seeking questionnaire (IBM-HS-Q)
Relationship between mental health help-seeking intention and prospective help-seeking behavior
When Performance Takes Priority
Engineering education is at a critical juncture where supporting student mental health is essential for fostering persistence, equity, and the development of a resilient and innovative workforce. Yet, undergraduate engineering students experiencing mental health concerns are often unlikely to seek professional help. To identify factors that account for this gap in treatment, this project administered the Undergraduate Engineering Mental Health He…
Exploring sociocultural predictors of intention to seek help among South Asians in the United States using the integrated behavioral model of mental health help seeking
Extending the theoretical understanding of mental illness and help-seeking self-stigmas
Valid assessment of spiritual quality of life with the WHOQOL-SRPB BREF across religious, spiritual, and secular persons
Maintaining the Relationship
Women face more negative health outcomes than men due to relationship distress, but little is understood about why heterosexual women do or do not seek couple therapy. The present study addressed this gap by using the theory of planned behavior within an alternative structural equation modeling framework to examine the links between relational schemas and intention to seek couple therapy in a sample of heterosexual women ( N = 302) who were unhap…

More similar than different? Testing the construct validity of men’s and women’s traditional masculinity ideology using the Male Role Norms Inventory-Very Brief
Men in unhappy relationships
Research suggests men are reluctant to seek couple therapy. Parnell and Hammer (2018) established the utility of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in explaining men's relationship help seeking. The present study addressed gaps in their investigation by using a sample of men ( N = 206) who reported being unhappy with their romantic relationship; incorporating the key theoretical constructs of relationship satisfaction, self-stigma of seeking he…
Religious/secular distance
LGB positive identity and psychological well-being
Development and validation of a five-item Male Role Norms Inventory using bifactor modeling
Measures of traditional masculinity ideology (TMI) provide important information related to men’s well-being. However, most TMI measures are too long to be included in large public health, psychological, or medical survey batteries. Drawing on previous bifactor analyses of the Male Role Norms Invent

Atheism Looking In
Este estudo exploratorio contribuiu para a pesquisa de incredulos, suas comunidades, e o movimento ateista em geral dividindo os incredulos (N=1,939) em quatro grupos baseados no grau de afiliacao formal e na avaliacao de atitudes, percepcoes e preferencias em tres areas. Primeiramente, examinamos as preferencias dos membros do grupo de incredulos (“afiliados seculares”), ex-membros e nao membros incredulos (“nao afiliados seculares”) suas metas,…
North America
This essay provides an overview of what is known about atheists in North America. It begins with estimates of the total number of atheists in North America, including Central America, Caribbean nations, Mexico, Canada, and the US. Demographic characteristics of atheists in Canada, Mexico, and the US based on the World Values Survey are also examined. What life is like for atheists in the US, including the discrimination they experience and the is…
Is stigma internalized? The longitudinal impact of public stigma on self-stigma.
Stigma is considered an important barrier to seeking mental health services. Two types of stigma exist: public stigma and self-stigma. Theoretically, it has been argued that public stigma leads to the development of self-stigma. However, the empirical support for this assertion is limited to cross-sectional data. Therefore, the goal of this research was to examine the relationship between public stigma and self-stigma over time. Perceptions of pu…
Male student veterans
This study assessed whether conformity to masculine norms was associated with psychological well-being among 117 college-attending veterans and active-duty service members, and the extent to which hardiness mediated that relationship. Results indicated that greater conformity to masculine norms was
On the Receiving End
The present study examines perceived discrimination faced by religious ‘nones’. After distinguishing between atheists, agnostics, and ‘nones’ who are deists or theists, we use nationally representative data from the 2008 American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS) to study the contexts in which these various types of religious ‘nones’ have reported experiencing discrimination. The strongest predictor of such discrimination was not theological…
Forms, Frequency, and Correlates of Perceived Anti-Atheist Discrimination
The nationally representative 2008 American Religious Identification Survey found that 41% of self-identified atheists reported experiencing discrimination in the last 5 years due to their lack of religious identification. This mixed-method study explored the forms and frequency of discrimination reported by 796 self-identified atheists living in the United States. Participants reported experiencing different types of discrimination to varying de…
Men's help seeking
The present study examined the relationships between traditional Western masculine norms, self-stigma, and attitudes toward counseling among 4,748 men from different community sizes, and different education and income levels. Structural equation modeling (SEM) analyses suggest that, across all male subgroups, masculine norms were linked to self-stigma and, in turn, attitudes toward counseling. However, several clear differences in the strengths o…
Positive psychology
One Person's Apostate is Another Person's Convert”
This paper analyzes terminology in the sociology of religion to illustrate proreligious hegemony and the construction of deviant identities for the non-religious. The paper begins by analyzing the current terminology used to refer to the non-religious and makes suggestions for less-biased terminology. The article then uses the “found” terminology to illustrate how language and definitions function to marginalize the non-religious and turn them in…
Referring men to seek help
Why do men tend to underutilize mental health services? One reason may be that men are less frequently referred to seek such services. Indeed, male friends and family members may be particularly unlikely to refer men to seek mental health services, as it means going against the traditional male gender role proscription of talking to other men about emotional issues. This study is the first to explore how men’s experiences of gender role conflict …
Men’s Help Seeking for Depression
Although depression among men is becoming better understood, men still underuse counseling services. Hence, there is an important need for improved ways to reach out to depressed men. This study examined the efficacy of a male-sensitive brochure aimed toward improving attitudes about seeking counseling and reducing the self-stigma of seeking counseling among 1,397 depressed men who had not previously sought help for their depression. Results indi…

Extending Sexual Objectification Theory and Research to Minority Populations, Couples, and Men
This reaction highlights several strengths of this major contribution and discusses some future directions in this line of research.The authors offer research ideas in the areas of cultural and cross-cultural issues, couples and relationships, as well as direct and indirect effects of sexual objectification on men. In terms of providing increasing support for the model of sexual objectification and substance use, the authors suggest more exhausti…

Social characteristics, the diagnosis of mental disorders, and the change from DSM II to DSM III
Multivariate analyses are used to examine stability and changes in the predictors of mental illness diagnoses with the introduction of a revised diagnostic system in the U.S. The impact of the shift from DSM II to DSM III is studied in three outpatient clinics. Among our findings is support for the relationship of income and gender to receiving the diagnosis of schizophrenia. This is found both under DSM II and the more behaviorally-based DSM III…

“Boys don't cry”
The role of conformity to dominant U.S. masculine norms as an antecedent to help-seeking attitudes in men has been established using convenience samples made up largely of college-age and European American males. However, the role of conformity to masculine norms on help-seeking attitudes for noncollege-age men or for men from diverse backgrounds is not well understood. To fill this gap in the literature, the present study examined the cross-cult…
