Abstract | Mental health problems, such as anxiety, depression, and high levels of stress, are a frequent concern among college students (Duffy et al., 2019; Oswalt et al., 2020). However, rates for mental health help-seeking in college students are low (Marsh & Wilcoxon, 2015). Various factors contribute to low help-seeking behaviors, and these include psychological well-being, stigma, and demographic factors such as gender and age. This study explored the relationships between psychological well-being, attitudes towards help-seeking, and stigma towards receiving psychological help in a sample of 108 undergraduate students. Participants were mainly White (72%), female (68%), and heterosexual (71%). Results indicated a significant positive correlation between age and help-seeking. Non-White students endorsed higher levels of stigma towards receiving psychological help than White students. Age and stigma predicted attitudes towards help-seeking. Possible explanations are discussed and directions for future research are highlighted. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
