Psychological Help-Seeking Intention among College Students across Three Problem Areas
Hess, Timothy R.; Tracey, Terence J. G.
Journal of Counseling & Development, v91 n3 p321-330 Jul 2013
The theory of planned behavior (TPB) was used to understand psychological help-seeking intention for 3 common concerns: anxiety or depression, career choice concerns, and alcohol or drug use. Eight hundred eighty-nine university students completed surveys for the TPB variables plus belief in personal efficacy and control to solve the problems. Path analysis demonstrated path invariance, indicating that the importance of TPB variables do not vary based on concern in the decision-making process. (Contains 4 figures and 1 table.)
