Mental health attitudes among Caucasian-American and Korean counseling students.

Attitudinal differences among 104 Korean and 107 Caucasian-American counseling students was investigated using the Mental Health Values Questionnaire (MHVQ). Caucasian-American students reported significantly greater attitudinal scores on the negative traits, untrustworthiness, and unconventional reality subscales. In contrast, the Korean sample reported higher attitudinal scores on the achievement and affective control subscales. Implications for cross-cultural mental health education and practice are discussed.
