“…Distinctions between clients and nonclients have been found to reside also in personality variables. In comparison to nonclients, clients have been found to have more doubts about their self-worth (Minge & Bowman, 1967) and to be more attuned to their own internal thought processes and to have a more flexible approach to life (Mendelsohn & Kirk, 1962).…”

In this study the authors examined the effects of problem severity, amount of self‐disclosure, and self‐disclosure flexibility on willingness to seek help for a problem. The participants were 101 midwestern university students enrolled in an introductory psychology course who had not had previous counseling experience. The participants completed the Jourard Self‐Disclosure Questionnaire (SDQ), the Chelune Self‐Disclosure Situations Survey (SDSS), and responded to questions after reading a scenario depicting a personal problem of either high or low severity. The results indicated that the factors that predicted the greatest amount of variance in willingness to seek help were the interaction of problem severity with willingness to self‐disclose to a counselor, followed by problem severity; no gender differences were found. Implications for counseling and further research are discussed.

“…Help seeking has received much attention in past research. Investigators trying to find an answer to the question of what influences individuals' help-seeking tendencies have conducted numerous studies examining the relationship between gender (Fischer & Turner, 1970;Good, Dell, & Mintz, 1989;Leong & Zachar, 1999;MacKenzie, Gekoski, & Knox, 2006), personality (Apostal, 1968;Fischer & Turner, 1970;Mendelsohn & Kirk, 1962;Minge & Bowman, 1967), openness (Komiya, Good, & Sherrod, 2000), emotional distress (Greene, 1999), self-concealment (Cepeda-Benito & Short, 1998;Kelly & Achter, 1995) and self-disclosure (Vogel & Wester, 2003;Vogel, Wester, Wei, & Boysen, 2005), and help-seeking behaviors and attitudes. Individuals who are female, score as perceivers and intuitors on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (Saunders, 1958), have external locus of control, are open, score lower on scales of dominance, experience more emotional distress, and do not self-conceal are more likely to seek help from a professional counselor.…”

This study investigated the relationships among personality variables, counseling expectations, and help‐seeking attitudes. Participants (N = 411) completed the Revised NEO (Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to New Experiences) Personality Inventory (Costa & McCrae, 1992), the Expectations About Counseling Questionnaire‐Brief Form (Tinsley, 1982), and the Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help scale (Fischer & Turner, 1970). Results indicate that personality factors are related to help‐seeking attitudes and these relationships are moderated by expectations about counseling.

“…The literature indicates that the functions were differentiated with regard to: occupational preferences and success (Rezler, Mrtek, & Gutmann, 1975;Rezler, Mrtek, & Monasse, 1976); successful and unsuccessful students (Conary, 1965;Fretz & Schmidt, 1967;Reynolds & Hope, 1970); aesthetic judgment (Carlson & Parker, 1969;Child, 1965); social perception and action (Carlson & Levy, 1973); media preferences (Anast, 1965); outcomes of counseling (Mendlesohn, 1966(a); Mendlesohn & Geller, 1963;Mendlesohn & Kirk, 1962); and success in laboratory groups (Steele, 1968). …”

Different Strokes for Different Folks: Jung's Typology and Structured Experiences

The purpose of this study was to examine and compare the evaluations of 175 students differentiated by Carl Jung's psychotypology when they were involved in either a session of nonverbal communication experiences or a session of fantasy experiences. The significant findings were as follows: intuitive types preferred the two experiences more than the thinking types; extraverts preferred the two experiences more than the introverts; and the feeling types preferred the nonverbal communication experiences more than the fantasy experiences. Thus, it seems evident that some of the Jungian psychological types prefer different structured experiences.The typology of Jung (1976) was used in this study to differentiate the &dquo;different&dquo; folks. Although there are many personality theorists who have schematized psychotypologies (Freud, 1920;Reich, 1949;Sheldon, 1970), Jung's typology was employed because it has been widely researched and can be easily measured (Myers-Briggs, 1962).Two sets of structured experiences were used to provide the different &dquo;strokes.&dquo; One set utilized fantasy, and the other employed nonverbal communication. Although other kinds of activities could have been used (e.g., lecture, psychodrama, or values clarification), these were selected because they receive widespread use and are sufficiently different.The objective of this study was to demonstrate that the different psychological types described by Jung would prefer different structured experiences. REVIEW Jung proposed two basic attitudes of behavior: extraversion and introversion. The extravert naturally seeks means of communication
