The aim of the current study was to examine: 1) the relationship between mental health stigma (MHS) and mental health help seeking attitudes (MHHSA) in Taiwanese in Taiwan (TW) and in the United States (U.S.); 2) the association of acculturation with MHS and MHHSA; 3) whether loss of face moderates the relationship between MHS and MHHSA, and 4) factors that should be addressed by culturally appropriate interventions to reduce MHS and improve MHHSA in Taiwanese in TW and the U.S. The sample consisted of 243 participants (114 Taiwanese in TW and 129 Taiwanese descent in the U.S.). Participants completed an online survey assessing mental health self-stigma (SS), public stigma (PS), loss of face (LOF), acculturation (for US sample only), and MHHSA. Independent-Samples t-Test and Hierarchical Multiple Regression analyses were conducted. The results showed that Taiwanese in TW reported greater levels of SS (M = 2.34, SD = .54) than Taiwanese in the U.S. (M = 2.18, SD = .61), p < .05. However, differences in PS was not found between the two groups. Taiwanese in the U.S. (M = 3.12, SD = .47) reported significantly more positive MHHSA than their counterparts in TW ( M = 2.91, SD = .46), p =.001. Increased levels of SS and PS significantly predicted less positive MHHSA for both groups. Acculturation as measured by levels of immersion into Taiwanese and U.S. mainstream cultures predicted MHHSA. Specifically, greater levels of immersion into Taiwanese culture significantly predicted less MHHSA (B = -.01, SE = .002, p = .001) whereas greater levels of immersion into U.S. culture significantly predicted more positive MHHSA, B = .01, SE = .002, p = .005. LOF did not moderate the relationship between MHS and MHHSA in both TW and U.S. samples. The results of this study inform research on the relationship between MHS and MHHSA. This finding calls for future examination of other factors that may moderate the relationship between MHS and MHHSA. Findings also highlight the significance of developing interventions to reduce mental health stigma and interventions that are sensitive to cross-cultural and acculturative differences across Asian and other immigrant populations.
