This research addressed the causal beliefs about, and the help seeking preferences for depression, held by 676 Chinese lay people from four distinct groups (university, urban, rural and clinical), as well as the causal beliefs about depression held by 98 Chinese health care professionals. The influence of factors such as levels of depressive symptoms and clinical status on causal beliefs and help seeking preferences was also examined. The results indicated that the Chinese lay people and health care professionals surveyed in this study hold similar and sophisticated psychosocial causal theories of depression that resemble those held in the 'West', and that, in general, Chinese lay people favour psychosocial interventions and self-help in overcoming depression.

520 $a This research addressed the causal beliefs about, and the help seeking preferences for depression, held by 676 Chinese lay people from four distinct groups (university, urban, rural and clinical), as well as the causal beliefs about depression held by 98 Chinese health care professionals. The influence of factors such as levels of depressive symptoms and clinical status on causal beliefs and help seeking preferences was also examined. The results indicated that the Chinese lay people and health care professionals surveyed in this study hold similar and sophisticated psychosocial causal theories of depression that resemble those held in the 'West', and that, in general, Chinese lay people favour psychosocial interventions and self-help in overcoming depression.
520 $a A factor analysis of the 26 causal attributions studied revealed seven clearly interpretable factors. These 'Causal Factors' were labelled; Biological/fatalistic, Environmental stress-downtrodden, Family problems, 'Lacks Inner Resources', Negative-depressing influences, Unfulfilled Aspirations and Poor Health/Environment. The Causal Factors receiving the highest endorsements in the aetiology of depression were 'Lacks Inner Resources' and 'Family problems'. A factor analysis of the 16 help seeking alternatives studied revealed four clearly interpretable factors. These 'Help Seeking Factors' were labelled; Traditional/Western medical, Supernatural/folk, Social support/self-help and Mental health professional. The Help Seeking Factors receiving the highest endorsements were 'Social support/self-help' and 'Mental Health Professional'. Strong positive correlations were found between the Causal Factors 'Biological/fatalistic' and 'Poor Health/Environment' and the Help Seeking Factors 'Traditional/Western medical' and 'Supernatural/folk'.
520 $a There was also a significant effect of the level of depressive symptoms and clinical status (whether or not subjects were in treatment for depression) on subjects' ratings of both causal beliefs and help seeking preferences. Weak, but statistically significant, correlations were found between the severity of depressive symptoms and the 'Supernatural/folk' and the 'Traditional/Western medical' help seeking factors. A moderate and negative correlation was found to exist between clinical status and the 'Family problems' causal factor. Clinical status was moderately and positively correlated with the Mental health professional and Traditional/Western medical help seeking factor.
520 $a The results are discussed with respect to understanding the nature and impact of causal models of depression on help seeking with a view to better targeting of interventions for depressed Chinese people.
