TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the possibility that another meta-cognitive aspect of thinking is also important, i.e., the degree of confidence people have in their own thoughts.
Abstract: Previous research in the domain of attitude change has described 2 primary dimensions of thinking that impact persuasion processes and outcomes: the extent (amount) of thinking and the direction (valence) of issue-relevant thought. The authors examined the possibility that another, more meta-cognitive aspect of thinking is also important-the degree of confidence people have in their own thoughts. Four studies test the notion that thought confidence affects the extent of persuasion. When positive thoughts dominate in response to a message, increasing confidence in those thoughts increases persuasion, but when negative thoughts dominate, increasing confidence decreases persuasion. In addition, using self-reported and manipulated thought confidence in separate studies, the authors provide evidence that the magnitude of the attitude-thought relationship depends on the confidence people have in their thoughts. Finally, the authors also show that these self-validation effects are most likely in situations that foster high amounts of information processing activity.

...Indeed, the main goal of cognitive-behavior therapy is to get individuals to decrease the perceived validity of negative or irrational thoughts by questioning these thoughts or assessing the evidence for them (eg, Beck & Greenberg, 1994; A....

TL;DR: The need to pay specific theoretical and clinical attention to how conformity to dominant masculine norms and self-stigma are linked to unfavorable attitudes toward help seeking for these men is suggested, in order to encourage underserved men's help-seeking behavior.
Abstract: The role of conformity to dominant U.S. masculine norms as an antecedent to help-seeking attitudes in men has been established using convenience samples made up largely of college-age and European American males. However, the role of conformity to masculine norms on help-seeking attitudes for noncollege-age men or for men from diverse backgrounds is not well understood. To fill this gap in the literature, the present study examined the cross-cultural relevance of a mediational model of the relationships between conformity to dominant U.S. masculine norms and attitudes toward counseling through the mediator of self-stigma of seeking counseling for 4,773 men from both majority and nonmajority populations (race/ethnicity and sexual orientation). Structural equation modeling results showed that the model established using college males from majority groups (European American, heterosexual) may be applicable to a community sample of males from differing racial/ethnic groups and sexual orientations. However, some important differences in the presence and strengths of the relationships between conformity to dominant masculine norms and the other variables in the model were present across different racial/ethnic groups and sexual orientations. These findings suggest the need to pay specific theoretical and clinical attention to how conformity to dominant masculine norms and self-stigma are linked to unfavorable attitudes toward help seeking for these men, in order to encourage underserved men's help-seeking behavior.

...This is a serious omission given the need to avoid assuming that research conclusions derived from one group automatically apply to others (Burlew, 2003), cross-validate theories via cross-cultural research (Ponterotto, Cassas, Suzuki, & Alexander, 2001), and develop best practices for reaching underserved populations (S....

TL;DR: This article examined the relationship among African American clients' perceptions of their white counselors with respect to perceived racial microaggressions in cross-racial counseling relationships, the counseling working alliance, their counselors' general and multicultural counseling competence, and their counseling satisfaction.
Abstract: This study examined the relationships among African American clients’ perceptions of their White counselors with respect to (a) perceived racial microaggressions in cross-racial counseling relationships, (b) the counseling working alliance, (c) their counselors’ general and multicultural counseling competence, and (d) their counseling satisfaction. Findings revealed that greater perceived racial microaggressions by African American clients were predictive of a weaker therapeutic alliance with White therapists, which, in turn, predicted lower ratings of general and multicultural counseling competence. Greater perceived racial microaggressions also were predictive of lower counseling satisfaction ratings. In addition, African American clients’ perceptions of racial microaggressions had a significant indirect effect on these clients’ ratings of White counselors’ general and multicultural counseling competence through the therapeutic working alliance.

...As such, procuring information about how the therapeutic working alliance may be viewed in light of perceived racial microaggressions is crucial given that the working alliance has been found to be the best predictor of psychotherapy outcome (Orlinsky, Grawe, & Parks, 1994)....
