摘要
This experimental study examined the effect of a brief media preventive intervention on help-seeking attitudes among college students in Hong Kong. Sixty local university students aged 17-23 were recruited and randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the control group. Participants in the experimental group (media intervention group) watched a video clip containing a mental health preventive message while participants in the control group watched a neutral video clip without any preventive message. Attitudes toward seeking help from mental health professional were measured before and after the media intervention. The results found that help-seeking attitudes of the experimental group slightly increased from the pretest (M = 6.20, SD = 2.25) to the posttest (M = 6.97, SD = 2.09). Nevertheless, there was no significant difference on the changes in help-seeking attitudes between the experimental group and the control group.
