Quizplus · Accepted Answer

European Americans benefit more from explicit forms of seeking social support compared to Asians and Asian Americans. This is because European Americans have a cultural value of individualism and independence, and view seeking help from others as a sign of strength rather than weakness. In contrast, Asians and Asian Americans value collectivism and interdependence, and may feel uncomfortable asking for help directly. Implicit forms of seeking social support, such as through nonverbal cues, may be more effective for Asians and Asian Americans. European Americans may be less likely to benefit from avoiding any form of social support or being less vocal about their personal concerns, as this may lead to feelings of isolation and contribute to negative health outcomes.
