dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to examine counseling graduate students' willingness to seek counseling. Ægisdóttir and Gerstein (2009) determined three components of willingness to seek counseling: stigma tolerance, intent, and expertness. These three constructs, along with overall willingness, were assessed utilizing the Beliefs About Psychological Services (BAPS) scale, developed by Ægisdóttir and Gerstein. The independent variables of beginning and advanced counseling students were created based on research that demonstrated differences between entry-level students and doctoral students (Skovholt & Ronnestad, 1992) and research that examined three levels of beginning versus advanced counseling graduate students (Roach & Young, 2007). Master's level counseling students (N = 37) from four universities completed the BAPS scale on willingness to seek counseling and a demographic questionnaire. No statistically significant results were found between beginning and advanced counseling graduate students on the dependent variables of overall willingness, stigma tolerance, intent, and expertness utilizing four independent sample t-tests. Past literature was examined in accordance with the current findings. Participants reported similar levels of current use of counseling and past use of counseling as in previous research. Limitations are explored, as well as implications for counseling graduate programs and future research.
