The present study investigated the differences in Turkish university students' attitudes toward seeking psychological help and the effects of gender and gender roles on their help-seeking experiences. The Bem Sex Roles Inventory and The Scale of Attitudes toward Seeking Psychological Help-Shortened were administered to 398 undergraduate students. The results found male and female students differed in their attitudes toward helpseeking. However, no significant interaction was found for students' gender roles and their attitude scores toward helpseeking. The findings and future research needs are discussed.
