Significant predictors that determine Singaporeans’ intention to seek professional counselling
ABSTRACT This study aims to investigate the significance of predictors that determine whether Singaporeans believe in professional counselling or not for their mental health issues. According to the Theory of Planned Behaviour, various behavioural, subjective, and control beliefs influence an individual’s intention to seek professional counselling from a trained counsellor or psychologist. Herein, we have analysed the data from a survey on adult Singaporeans (age <18, n = 564). The sampling size of the survey was found to be representative of the demographics of the population of Singapore. The study revealed that a person’s attitude towards seeking help for their mental health issues is the most significant predictor for their health issues.
