In the study, it was also tested whether students' attitudes towards career counseling changed according to gender. Data were collected from 500 university students in the research conducted on the basis of the relational research design. As a result of the path analysis on the collected data, it was seen that the independent variables significantly predicted the attitude towards career counseling and self-stigma played a significant mediating role in this relationship.
