Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the attitudes towards the approval of psychotherapy online in the light of reasoned action theory. The sample consisted of 167 participants (67% were females) who completed an online questionnaire through a mental health website. The results indicated that the attitudes towards the approval of psychotherapy online were a positive function of the product of beliefs regarding this matter by its evaluations. On the other hand, the subjective norm concerning the approval of psychotherapy was a positive function of the product of normative beliefs regarding this matter by the motivation to adhere to them. In addition, the attitudes and the subjective norm contributed to the intentions to vote for online psychotherapy, but the most important influence on this prediction came from the attitudes. Such results are discussed in the light of the previous research findings that also confirmed the main suppositions of reasoned action theory.
