ABSTRACT This paper examined the psychometric properties of the Inventory of Attitudes Towards Seeking Mental Help (IASMHS) English and translated Filipino versions in a sample of Filipino college students and overseas migrant workers. The IASMHS three-factor solution was replicated (psychological openness, help-seeking propensity, and indifference to stigma) with both English and Filipino versions, but dropping items and adding residual covariances were needed to achieve requisites of a good model fit. Measurement invariance test indicated partial metric and scalar invariance across versions. Past use and intent to utilize mental health services were positively associated with help-seeking propensity factor, but not with psychological openness and indifference to stigma. Bivariate correlations among IASMHS factors and other help-seeking variables were also examined.

英文和菲律宾文版本对寻求心理帮助服务的态度的心理测量特性

摘要本文研究了菲律宾大学生和海外移民工人样本中“寻求心理帮助的态度”（IASMHS）英文和菲律宾文译本的心理计量学特性。IASMHS的三因素解决方案（心理开放性，寻求帮助的倾向以及对耻辱的冷漠）在英语和菲律宾语版本中均得到了复制，但是需要删除项目并添加剩余协方差才能达到良好模型拟合的要求。测量不变性测试表明版本之间存在部分度量和标量不变性。过去的使用和使用心理健康服务的意愿与寻求帮助的倾向因素成正相关，但与心理开放性和对耻辱的冷漠没有正相关。
