Abstract

The present research (N = 134) explored the relationship between one's personal values and one's perception of counselees' values, and how this discrepancy is linked to help-seeking self-stigma. Participants reported that they are less self-concerned and more benevolent than counselees, the latter of which predicted lower help-seeking stigma.
