註釋 The purpose of the Core 2 major artifact is to demonstrate my proficiency and understanding of the selected 2014 CACREP standards. Through comprehensive literature reviews, theoretical analysis, and suggested implications for counseling and student affairs professionals, this major artifact demonstrates my foundational knowledge of diverse college student populations and trending issues. The Core 2 Major Artifact examines literature on the inclusion of sociocultural components and their affect on the psychological help seeking among Mexican American College students. To examine psychological help seeking this paper observed several components including acculturation, cultural values, and gender. Findings of these three components observed by Ramos-Sanchez and Atkinson's (2009) found that, as Mexican Americans stray away from Mexican society in future generations, their feelings toward help seeking become less favorable. Cultural orientation, cultural fit, and class standing were also observed and found that cultural orientation variables were not predictive of help-seeking attitudes, while culture absolutely impacts the help-seeking process. Lastly perceived social support was observed to understand the psychological help seeking finding that, lower social support from family is an indicator for higher help-seeking behavior, and the opposite for the higher social support for Mexican American college students.
