The present study examines the impact of fear of COVID-19 on attitudes and intentions towards online and face-to-face counseling. A total of 526 adults participated in this study. The path analysis results indicated that attitude towards online and face-to-face counseling differentially mediated the relationship between COVID-19 fear and both counseling intentions, even when controlling for other covariates. Specifically, fear of COVID-19 predicted positive attitudes towards online counseling (value of counseling), which in turn, predicted online counseling intention. On the other hand, COVID-19 fear affected negative attitudes towards face-to-face counseling (discomfort with counseling), resulting in a decrease in face-to-face counseling intention.
本研究考察了对新冠病毒的恐惧对在线咨询和面对面咨询的态度及意愿的影响。共有526名成年人参与了本研究。路径分析结果表明,即使在控制了其他协变量的情况下,对在线咨询和面对面咨询的态度也分别介导了对新冠病毒的恐惧与两种咨询意愿之间的关系。具体而言,对新冠病毒的恐惧预测了对在线咨询(咨询价值)的积极态度,而这种积极态度反过来又预测了在线咨询意愿。另一方面,对新冠病毒的恐惧影响了对面对面咨询的消极态度(对咨询的不适感),导致面对面咨询意愿下降。
