The aim of the current study was to examine the relationships between loss of face, public stigma, social network stigma, attitudes towards seeking psychological help, and willingness to seek psychological help among Turkish adults. The results of structural equation modeling of data from 202 Turkish adults demonstrated that loss of face was significantly and directly related to willingness to seek psychological help. The results also revealed that the relationship between public stigma and willingness to seek psychological help was mediated by attitudes toward seeking psychological help. Furthermore, 10% of the variance in attitudes toward seeking psychological help and 48% of the variance in willingness to seek psychological help were explained by the final model. The results are discussed in the current socio-cultural context and previous research findings.
