There are some unique problems international students must face when studying abroad. Some of these problems could lead to serious mental health issues when they are not appropriately managed. However, research has indicated that international students in the United States rarely seek help from their university counseling centers despite these issues potentially leading to serious psychological problems (Hwang et al., 2014). Previous studies have explored predictors of international students’ help-seeking intentions. Yet, these findings tend to be contradictory because these studies overlook individual group differences (Yoon & Portman, 2004). Therefore, the present study examines some of these predictors within and between the Mainland Chinese (MCIS) and Hong Kong Chinese international students (HKCIS). This study utilized path analysis to investigate the following predictors: group identity, acculturation level, self-stigma, perceived English proficiency, loss of face. Results showed that there was a significant difference in help-seeking intentions between the MCIS and HKCIS. The observed differences were attributable to level of self-stigma, perceived English proficiency, and loss of face, but not level of acculturation.
