与欧洲人相比，亚洲人和亚裔美国人更有可能还是更少地寻求社会支持来应对压力？一方面，亚洲国家的集体主义倾向可能有利于分担有压力的问题；另一方面，维持群体和谐的努力可能会阻碍这种努力。在两项研究中，韩国人(研究1)和美国的亚洲人和亚裔美国人(研究2)报告说，与欧洲美国人相比，使用社会支持来应对压力更少。研究3考察了这些影响的可能解释，并揭示了人际关系顾虑是支持寻求使用的文化差异的原因。讨论集中在寻求社会支持的潜在好处和责任上。
Are Asians and Asian Americans more or less likely to seek social support for dealing with stress than European Americans? On the one hand, the collectivist orientation of Asian countries might favor the sharing of stressful problems; on the other hand, efforts to maintain group harmony might discourage such efforts. In 2 studies, Koreans (Study 1) and Asians and Asian Americans in the United States (Study 2) reported using social support less for coping with stress than European Americans. Study 3 examined potential explanations for these effects and revealed that relationship concerns accounted for the cultural differences in use of support seeking. Discussion centers on the potential benefits and liabilities of seeking social support.
