College students' peer-helping behaviors and stigma of seeking help: Testing a moderated mediation model.
Journal of American College Health : J of ACH 2018 September 22
OBJECTIVE: College students are most likely to seek psychological help from their peers. Internalized public stigma (ie, personal stigma) may prevent peer-helpers from aiding others, and such help-negating effects may depend on contextual factors such as race and gender. The current study examined a moderated mediation model in which the relationship between public stigma and peer intervention behaviors was mediated by personal stigma and moderated by race and gender categories.
METHOD: Undergraduate students (N = 5,183) from the national Healthy Minds Study completed measures of help-seeking stigma and peer-helping behaviors.
RESULTS: Conditional Process Modeling revealed that personal stigma fully mediated the link between public stigma and peer-helping behaviors. Gender (but not race) moderated these associations such that the indirect and direct effects were stronger from men than women.
CONCLUSIONS: Peer-helper interventions may benefit from culture-specific re-norming messages and by addressing the role of gender in peer-helping.
