- Abstract:
- The current study provided a model to predict help-seeking behavioral intentions among the English-speaking Caribbean population. As per Ajzen’s (1991) theory of planned behavior (TPB), exploring help-seeking intentions may clarify the determinants of help seeking behavior. Sixty-four college students (41 women) of Caribbean decent completed an anonymous survey measuring one’s attitude toward seeking professional psychological help, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control over seeking formal services. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that the TPB variables successfully predicted one’s intention to seek professional help. Interventions that target changing the negative attitudes held toward seeking professional help may result in attaining greater access to this population.
