Abstract Details

2015, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Ohio University, Counselor Education (Education).
There is a paucity of specific to Asian communities, Taiwan specifically. There is also a lack of contemporaneous research on attitudes towards domestic/intimate partner violence and attitudes toward sexual violence. Current literature on sexual violence has focused on migrant groups worldwide. Cultural responses may keep many Asian victim/survivors of sexual violence from seeking professional help. Therefore, this study examined the attitudes of a sample of Asian college students in relation to sexual violence and seeking psychological help. This research sought to augment current knowledge provided through the work of Chen (1996), Yoshihama, and Sorenson (1994) by studying Asian college students. Understanding how this population perceives and responds to sexual violence against women may hold relevant implications for culturally competent and sensitive counseling services for Asian victims/survivors of sexual violence. Data derived from self-administered surveys including a demographic questionnaire, Asian Values Scale-Revised (ASV-R), Inventory of Beliefs about Wife Beating (IBWB), Attitudes toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help- Short Form (ATS), and Simplified Version of Attitudes toward Women Scale (SVAWS). Multiple regression approaches were used in data analysis. A small sample limited the ability to generalize study results outside of females at the host university (National Cheng Kung University).
