The perceptions of psychologist’s profession and using psychological help depending on age and other sociodemographic factors
The image of a psychologist was rather positive in this study. This profession was associated more with intellectual and cognitive attributes than with emotional ones. People with negative attitudes toward psychological help were people who may be at increased risk of experiencing difficulties or psychological crises. In these groups, additional educational activities and dissemination of an appropriate image of a psychologist are recommended. Med Pr Work Health Saf. 2025;76(1):13-24.
