Abstract
This study aims to find out the dual mediating effects of social-stigma and self-stigma in the relationship between ageism and professional help-seeking attitudes in the elderly. To this end, we analyzed data from 300 elderly adults using a self-report scale measuring Ageism, Help-Seeking Attitudes, Social-Stigma and Self-Stigma. The main findings are as follows. First, the result of the correlation analysis between ageism, professional help-seeking attitudes, social-stigma, and self-stigma has shown significance. Second, ageism does not have a direct effect on professional help-seeking attitude. Thus identifying the relation between ageism and professional help-seeking attitude, social stigma and self-stigma showed a complete mediation effect. Third, as a result of assessing the dual mediating effects of social-stigma and self-stigma regarding the relationship between ageism and a professional help-seeking attitude, the dual mediation model of indirect effect, followed by social-stigma and self-stigma, was statistically significant. Based on these results, this study’s significance and limitations and suggestions for future research were presented.
