The main purpose of this study was to determine the predictive role of dyadic adjustment and perceived social support in explaining psychological help-seeking attitudes of married individuals. A total of 320 married individuals participated in the study. According to the results, the adjustment on the origin family relationships sub-dimension of dyadic adjustment had a negative effect, while the perceived family support sub-dimension of perceived social support had a positive effect on the attitudes of married individuals towards psychological help-seeking. Thus, the results suggested that married individuals who have low dyadic adjustment on the origin family relationships, combined with high perceived family support have positive attitudes towards psychological help-seeking; whereas married individuals who have high dyadic adjustment on the origin family relationships, combined with low perceived family support have negative psychological help-seeking attitudes. Findings are discussed regarding relevant literature and suggestions for future academic studies and practice are presented.
