Abstract

This study examined whether self-compassion moderated the relationship between public and self-stigma of seeking psychological help in university students (N = 310). Results showed that self-compassion acted as a moderator; the relationship between public and self-stigma of seeking help was weaker when self-compassion was higher (p < .001).
