Özet

This study builds on previous help-seeking research in the United States by examining the role of counseling stigma in Turkey. Undergraduate students in Turkey (N = 520) completed self-report measures of attitudes and intentions to seek counseling and 3 forms of help-seeking stigma. Results indicated that perceptions of public and social network stigma each uniquely contributed to the experience of self-stigma, which, in turn, influenced attitudes toward seeking counseling and then help-seeking intentions.
