This is an open note written exam to be completed independently. Complete your answers in PEN in your blue book. Please read each question closely and answer all parts! Short Answer (5 Points each): Choose 3 of the 6 following options. 1) Asian Americans are noted to exhibit more somatic expressions of psychological distress. This has been called a cultural idiom of distress. How did Takeuchi et al.'s (2002) study regarding acculturation, financial stress, depression, and neurasthenia support the notion that somatization is a cultural idiom of distress among Chinese Americans? Describe the purpose of the study, the hypotheses, findings, and conclusion of the study. (5 points) 2) In Attachment Theory, it is proposed that maternal sensitivity leads to caregiver-child attachment and that attachment leads to child competence. But the definitions of sensitivity and competence might be culturally specific. Contrast Rothbaum's views of the antecedents and consequences of attachment within the U.S. versus Japan. What is the nature of attachment vs. amae? (5 points) 3) Weisz argued that the study of child psychopathology is the study of both the actual behavior of the child and the lens through which adults view child behavior. What is the adult distress threshold model? As applied to Thailand and the U.S., what are the predictions about child behavior problems according to the general and pattern- specific forms of the adult distress threshold model? Describe the methods and findings of one research study that examined the adult distress threshold model did the findings support the model? (5 points) 4) By now there is direct evidence that Asian Americans underutilize mental health services even when they have high mental health needs. Theoretical models emphasize different factors that shape the help-seeking process. Explain the Network Episode Model and how it might be better suited to explaining help-seeking for mental health problems compared to the Health Belief Model. Describe the study by Okazaki (2000) on length of treatment delay among Asian Americans psychosis patients, what were the findings, and explain whether they support the Network Episode Model.
