Ang, Rebecca P.; Lau, Shun; Tan, Ai-Girl; Lim, Kam Ming
Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, v40 n3 p130 Oct 2007
This article describes the validation and refinement of the short, 10-item version of the Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help (E. H. Fischer & J. L. Turner, 1970) scale using 2 separate samples. Confirmatory factor analyses results provided evidence of factorial invariance across both samples, thus supporting the cross-validation of a revised 9-item measure. (Contains 4 tables.)
