Abstract
The authors used the somaticization scale of the Brief Symptom Inventory to study Asian and American college students' propensity for seeking counseling at an American university. They found that the Asian students were more likely than the American students were to report that they would seek counseling services when they experience somatic discomfort. The Asian students scored significantly higher on inclination for seeking counseling than did the American students.Keywords
