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.

损失后非洲裔美国人的寻求帮助行为

我们调查了86名非洲裔美国人在经历亲人之死后寻求专业心理帮助，种族认同和复杂悲伤症状的态度。种族身份，求助态度和复杂的悲伤症状之间无显着相关性。多元回归分析表明，性别和教育程度预测了寻求帮助的态度，F（2，84）= 4.64，p <.05，而性别，教育程度和宗教信仰则预测了复杂的悲伤症状，F（3，79） ＝ 3.73，p＜.05。我们探索结果，影响和将来的研究领域。
