| Summary: | This research examines the relationships between perceived public stigma on seeking helps, attitudes toward seeking help, and willingness to seek help among practicing psychology officers. A total of 160 practicing psychology officers from the government sector are recruited as participants using purposive convenience sampling. A correlational study design using self-report via online-based questionnaires is completed at their workplace. Participants are requested to answer questions from three established scales that measure perceived public stigma on seeking helps, attitudes toward seeking help, and willingness to seek help. The study hypothesizes various correlations between perceived public stigma and willingness to seek help, perceived public stigma and attitudes toward seeking help, attitudes toward seeking help and willingness to seek help as well as attitudes toward seeking help mediates perceived public stigma and willingness to seek help. Results has shown that there is: (1) a small and negative correlation between perceived public stigma and willingness to seek help, r = -0.175, n = 137, p < 0.05; (2) a weak and no significant relationship between perceived public stigma and attitudes toward seeking help, r = 0.005, n = 148, p > 0.05; (3) a weak and no significant relationship between attitudes toward seeking help and willingness to seek help, r = 0.0.049, n = 133, p > 0.05. In short, the results have indicated hypotheses in this study are not supported. Based on the assumptions' checking analyses conducted (i.e., normality, multicollinearity, independence of errors, and homoscedasticity), regression analysis is not conducted as these assumptions are not met for further investigation in the current study. Finally, the implications of research findings are discussed, as well as limitations and recommendations for future research are provided. |
