Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: Middle-aged men in this day and age are experiencing many psychological crises. We conducted a study to reduce the stigma of counseling for middle-aged men suffering from such psychological crises and to come up with measures to promote professional help-seeking behavior.
Method: Data was collected online for middle-aged men aged 40 to 60. A total of 355 data points were analyzed using SPSS 21.0 and M-plus 7.2.
Results: The results of the study are as follows. First, as a result of comparing the fit of the model through the fit of the structural equation model, the theoretical model established in the study showed better comparative fit than the competitive model. Second, the mediating effect of the verified model was verified through bootstrapping techniques, and it was found that both social stigma and self stigma were completely mediated by professional help-seeking attitude in relation to professional help-seeking intention.
Conclusion: Based on the results of such research, this study can present basic data for promoting the professional help-seeking for middle-aged men. Furthermore, suggestions for further research were discussed.
