本文比较了中美两国研究生的求助观念和求助行为。了解学生的需求，了解他们最需要帮助的问题领域，对于规划和评估咨询效果非常重要。学生为各种问题选择帮助者也会影响咨询服务的提供方式。它考察了学生的应对模式的文化差异的理解，但也将阐明学生的特点，如性别，学习领域，学习时间与研究生的看法和应对行为。研究对象为1986年就读于美国爱荷华州大学的华裔和美籍研究生。分析结果表明，中美学生对求助者的选择基本一致：健康问题求助于医生;经济困难求助于父母;社会心理、个人心理、恋爱、性、婚姻和家庭问题求助于朋友;道德和宗教问题求助于无人;学业问题求助于导师。只有两个方面的差异：职业教育问题和心理病理学。
The article compares the help-seeking perceptions and behaviors of Chinese and American graduate students. Understanding students' needs and knowing the problem areas in which they need the most help is important for planning and evaluating counseling effectiveness. Students' choice of helpers for various problems also affects how counseling services will be delivered. It examines understanding of cultural differences in students' coping patterns but will also shed light on how student characteristics such as sex, field of study, and length of study are associated with graduate students' perceptions and coping behaviors. Foreign-born Chinese and native-born American graduate students who were attending the University of Iowa in 1986 were selected to participate in this study. The results of the analysis indicated that Chinese and American students generally agree on the following choices for helpers: a doctor for health problems; parents for financial difficulties; a friend for social-psychological, personal-psychological, courtship, sex, marriage, and family problems; no one for morality and religious problems; and an advisor for academic problems. There were only two areas of differences: Vocational-Educational Problems and Psychological Pathology.
