Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: A study of civilian survivors with physical injuries also found a higher rate of PTSD symptoms among Hispanics as compared to Whites. The collectivist orientation may help explain the higher rates of PTSD found in a study of Hispanic police officers when compared to Black officers and non-Hispanic White officers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Asian Americans tend to view any form of mental disorder as a shameful condition that they are embarrassed to admit. As a result, they are less likely to seek treatment from a therapist or counselor for emotional problems. Among Hispanics who do seek counseling, half never follow up on their first visit by returning for additional sessions (Dingfelder, 2005).
