Results indicated that the female students had significantly higher levels of self-disclosure and acceptance, and of nurturance expectations. Students who had previous help-seeking experiences had significantly higher levels of self-disclosure and acceptance, and of facilitative expectations compared to students without this experience. Psychological mindedness was a positive significant predictor of self-disclosure and acceptance, and of facilitative and nurturance expectations. Furthermore, locus of control predicted self-disclosure and acceptance, directiveness, and nurturance expectations. © 2019, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.en10.1007/s10447-019-09378-6info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessExpectations about counselingLocus of controlPsychological mindednessSelf-concealmentUniversity studentsArticleQ2
