Yüz Yüze Ve Çevrim İçi Psikolojik Danışmaya Yönelik Tutum ile Kişilik Özellikleri ve Kendini Damgalama İlişkisi

Abstract

This study examined how personality traits and self-stigma predict attitudes towards face-to-face and online counseling. The study population consisted of 500 university students. In the data collection process, the Attitudes Towards Online and Face-to-Face Counseling Scale, the Adjective-Based Personality Test, the Self-Stigma in Seeking Psychological Help Scale and the Personal Information Form were used. According to the results of the study, according to the personality traits of the students, the dimensions of openness to experience and agreeableness positively predict the value of online counseling. The dimension of emotional instability positively predicts discomfort with online counseling, and responsibility negatively predicts discomfort with online counseling. In addition, emotional instability, openness to experience and agreeableness positively predicted the value of face-to-face counseling, while emotional instability positively predicted discomfort with face-to-face counseling. While self-stigmatisation scores negatively predicted the value of face-to-face and online counseling, they positively predicted discomfort with face-to-face and online counseling. In terms of gender, it was found that women's value scores for face-to-face and online counseling and men's discomfort scores for face-to-face and online counseling were significantly higher. In addition, previous counseling status also showed significant differences in terms of discomfort with face-to-face and online counseling and value of face-to-face counseling. The results were discussed in the light of the literature and recommendations were made for researchers and professionals in the field.
