Self-Concealment, Avoidance of Psychological Services, and Perceived Likelihood of Seeking Professional Help.

Cepeda-Benito, Antonio; Short, Paul

Journal of Counseling Psychology, v45 n1 p58-64 Jan 1998

New information about the role of self-concealment in the decision to seek psychological services is investigated. Different types of distress selectively predict students' perceived likelihood of seeking help according to the problems for which help would be sought (N=732). Results are discussed in contrast to previous researchers' findings. (EMK)
