Mediation effect of perceived discrimination between professional psycho-logical help-seeking attitudes and resilience among higher vocational first-year students
Objective This study explored the relationships between perceived discrimination,professional psycho-logical help-seeking,and resilience among higher vocational freshmen,to provide a reference for improving psychological health education among vocational college students.Methods A total of 527 higher vocational first-year students were se-lected through random cluster sampling and investigated according to the Professional Psychological Help-Seeking Attitudes Scale,Perceived Discrimination Questionnaire,and Brief Resilience Scale in October 2022.Correlation analysis and mediat-ing effect tests were applied to understand whether mediating effects exist among perceived discrimination,professional psy-chological help-seeking,and resilience.Results A total of 527 new vocational college students scored 103.89±13.40 on the Professional Psychological Help-Seeking Attitudes Scale,5.57±2.55 on the Perceived Discrimination Questionnaire,and 19.80±4.26 on the Brief Resilience Scale.The Professional Psychological Help-Seeking Attitudes Scale score for higher vocational freshmen negatively correlated with that of the Perceived Discrimination Questionnaire(r=-0.437,P＜0.01),and positively correlated with that of the Brief Resilience Scale(r=0.198,P＜0.01).A significant negative correlation was ob-served between perceived discrimination and psychological resilience(r=-0.453,P＜0.01).Mediating effect analysis in-dicated that perceived discrimination showed a complete mediating effect between professional psychological help-seeking and resilience among higher vocational first-year students.Conclusion Resilience affects psychological help-seeking through a complete intermediary role in perceived discrimination among higher vocational first-year students.Thus,decreasing perceived discrimination among higher vocational first-year students would enhance their psychological help-seeking tendency.
