Predictors of beliefs about psychological services among future teachers and educators
Most people experience some degree of psychological distress during different periods of their lifetime. Depending on their personal characteristics and coping skills, some may be able to deal with this distress more successfully than others who need or could benefit from reaching to psychology and psychotherapy experts in search of psychological help. In the present study we investigated students’ attitudes regarding the Center for student (psychological) counselling offered at their University, more general beliefs about psychological services and the willingness to search for psychological help. 270 students studying to become teachers or educators at the Universities of Split and Zadar, Croatia, participated in the study and expressed their attitudes towards receiving psychological help in case of distress. In doing so, we investigated how these attitudes are associated with their emotional regulation and control, the level of experienced psychological distress and core self-beliefs. The obtained results indicated that, in case of psychological distress, 44 % of students would try to find support at the Center for student (psychological) counselling, whereas 33 % of students would search for help elsewhere and 27 % would not be willing to seek any help. Furthermore, students’ emotional regulation and control as well as the level of their psychological distress were identified as predictors of beliefs about psychological services, which was not the case for core self-beliefs. Moreover, women had more positive attitudes towards seeking psychological help than men. These results support and partly extend previous findings, indicating the practical need for developing and promoting psychological counselling services among university students in Croatia and worldwide.
