Abstract:

The purpose of the study is to study the relationship between self-respect and stress behaviors in university students and attitudes seeking psychological help. The study included 545 (woman n=426 male n=119) university students. The study used the sociodemographic form of information to obtain data, the Rosenberg Self-respect Scale, the Scale of Stres and the Psychological Assistance Search Attitude Scale. University students have found a relationship between levels of self-esteem and levels of dealing with stress. Between the levels of dealing with stress and the attitudes of seeking psychological help, there was only a relationship in the low-degree of seeking social support. It has been found that self-respect, stress management and psychological assistance seeking attitudes in university students differ according to sociodemographic variables.
