This study was an attempt to replicate and extend the previous research by Puma ([Puma, L. M., 1996]) and Kakhnovets ([Kakhnovets, R., 2011]) on the relationships between the 5‐factor model of personality (FFM) and college students' attitudes toward seeking counseling. With a sample of 458 undergraduate students, the authors found that participant sex, prior treatment experiences, and 3 of the FFM factors (openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness) predicted college students' attitudes toward counseling, but there was no evidence of moderator effects.
