“…In the literature, rumination is offered as a factor more prevalent in women than in men (Nolen-Hoeksema, 1987), and renders women more vulnerable to psychological symptoms (Nolen-Hoeksema & Morrow, 1991;Turan & Erdur-Baker, 2010). A difference in men's and women's rumination levels was found in Turkish culture (Erdur-Baker & Bugay, 2012;Turan & Erdur-Baker, 2010) and links to women's negative HSA. Traditionally, men in Turkish culture attain a higher social status and more resources than women and are offered more instrumental tools to cope with stressors (Kandiyoti, 1982).…”

The current study investigates how attitudes towards seeking psychological help relate to internal working models of attachment (self-model and other-model) and ruminative tendencies. The study includes 589 Turkish university students (278 females, 308 males and 3 unknown) by implementing a convenient sampling procedure. The average age of the participants was 22.4 years (SD 02.2). Participants were administered the Attitudes toward Seeking Psychological HelpShort, the Relationship Questionnaire and the Rumination Scale. The results of the study indicate that the other-model and rumination have a relationship to women's help-seeking attitudes whereas the self-model has a relationship to men's help-seeking attitudes. The results are discussed in light of the related literature.
