Abstract Objective: To explore the multiple mediating effects of professional psychological stigma and psychological distress on self-concealment and attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help. Methods: Totally 995 college students were selected and investigated using the self-concealment scale, the professional psychological help seeking stigma scale, the psychological distress scale and the attitude toward seeking professional psychological help-short form. Results: Correlation analysis showed that SCS and K10 were significantly correlated with the stigma of seeking psychological help scale scores (r=0.433, 0.479, 0.511,P<0.01). There was significant negative correlation between these three factors and the attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help (r=-0.356, -0.197, -0.197, P<0.01). A structural equation model was established with self-concealment as independent variable, with attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help as dependent variable, with psychological distress and psychological help-seeking stigma as mediating variable. All indexes fit well (χ2/df=3.984, GFl=0.994, AGFI=0.976, NFl=0.989, CFl=0.991, RMSEA=0.055). Conclusion:The stigma of seeking professional psychological help has a significant mediating effect between selfconcealment and attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help, and the stigma and psychological distress have a chain mediating effect between self-concealment and attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help.
