The purpose of this studyis to investigate whether adolescents' psychological help-seeking attitudes are predicted on a significant level by social support, subjective well-being and gender variables among Turkish adolescents. The participants of the study consisted of 433 high school students including 248 females and 185 males. In the study, the Psychological Help-Seeking Attitude Scale, the Social Support Appraisals Scale for Children and Adolescents, the Subjective Well-Being Scale and the Demographic Information Sheet were used as data collection tools. The Multiple Regression Analysis was used for data analysis. In conducting the analyses, while a significant positive relationship was found between professional psychological help-seeking attitude and subjective well-being, a significant negative relationship was found with perceived social support.In addition, the gender variable significantly was found to predict psychological help-seeking. It was observed that all variables significantly predict psychological help-seeking attitudes.It is important to take into consideration the factors affecting psychological help-seeking attitudes in terms of psychological counseling prevention and intervention programs.
