Cramer's Model of Willingness to Seek Counseling: A Structural Equation Model for Counseling Students

Abstract

The author tested how well K. M. Cramer's (1999) model of willingness to seek counseling fit for master's level counseling students. Counseling students (N = 519) from across the United States completed a survey. Using structural equation modeling, the author found that Cramer's model fit with counseling students. Counseling students were most likely to report being willing to seek counseling if they had a positive attitude toward counseling, low level of self-concealment, high level of distress, and low social support.
