The aim of this study was to examine whether prior help-seeking experiences, perceived social support levels, and loneliness levels of faculty of education students predict or not their attitudes toward seeking psychological help. Participants were 278 (182 female, 96 male) students who were enrolled in different departments during 2011-2012 academic year at Faculty of Education, Ege University. Psychological Help-Seeking Attitudes Scale-R, UCLA Loneliness Scale, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support and Demographic Information Form were used for data collection. The Hierarchical Multiple Regression Analysis was conducted for data analysis. The results of the study showed that attitudes toward seeking psychological help was predicted by loneliness and perceived social support when the role of prior help-seeking experiences among faculty of education students was controlled. Also, it was concluded that attitudes toward seeking psychological help among students were negatively predicted by loneliness and positively predicted by perceived social support.
