摘要
We investigated attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help, ethnic identity, and complicated grief symptoms among 86 African Americans after they experienced the death of a loved one. There were no significant correlations among ethnic identity, help-seeking attitude, and complicated grief symptoms. Multiple regression analyses indicated that gender and education level predicted help-seeking attitude, F(2, 84) = 4.64, p < .05, and that gender, education level, and religious affiliation predicted complicated grief symptoms, F(3, 79) = 3.73, p < .05. We explore the results, implications, and areas for future research. Investigamos las actitudes hacia la busqueda de ayuda psicologica profesional, la identidad etnica y los sintomas de duelo complicado en 86 personas afroamericanas tras experimentar la muerte de un ser querido. No se hallaron correlaciones significativas entre la identidad etnica, la actitud de busqueda de ayuda y los sintomas de duelo complicado. Los analisis de regresion multiple indicaron que el sexo y el nivel de educacion pronosticaron la actitud de busqueda de ayuda, F(2, 84) = 4.64, p < .05, y que el sexo, el nivel de educacion y la afiliacion religiosa pronosticaron los sintomas de duelo complicado, F(3, 79) = 3.73, p < .05. Exploramos los resultados, implicaciones y areas para investigaciones futuras.
