Summary Demographic, Individual, and Environmental Factors as Predictors of Intention to Seek Psychological Help

The aim of the study was to investigate to what extent gender, previous help-seeking experience, self-stigma, self-ef - ficacy, psychological distress, attitudes towards help-seeking, public stigma, social-network stigma, perceived social support and practical barriers predict psychological help-seeking intent. Five hundred and six undergraduate students (295 female and 211 male) participated to the study. The results of the hierarchical regression analysis demonstrated that gender, previous help-seeking experience, psychological distress, and attitudes towards counseling significantly predicted psychological help-seeking intent, whereas self-stigma, self-efficacy, public stigma, social-network stigma, perceived social support and perceived practical barriers d id not predict psychological help-seeking intent.
