This study investigated Korean Protestants’ beliefs about psychological services (BAPS) and their associations with religiosity and church climates. Using responses of 254 Protestants from 18 different churches in South Korea, we employed three multilevel analyses to explore whether participants’ etiology beliefs, religious coping, and perceived church climates in relation to psychological services were associated with the subscales of the BAPS scale: Expertness, Stigma Tolerance, and Intent to Seek Psychological Help. The results indicated that attributions of mental illness to psychological factors were associated with stronger beliefs in the expertise of psychological services. In terms of religious coping, the deferring style was negatively associated with stigma tolerance, the self-directing style was negatively associated with expertness and stigma tolerance, and the collaborative style was positively associated with intent to seek help. Finally, church climates related to psychological services, which we considered a church-level factor, were associated with all BAPS subscales. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

本研究调查了韩国新教徒对心理服务 (BAPS) 的信念及其与宗教信仰和教会氛围的关联。使用来自韩国 18 个不同教会的 254 名新教徒的回答，我们采用了三个多层次分析来探讨参与者的病因信仰、宗教应对和感知的与心理服务相关的教会氛围是否与 BAPS 量表的子量表相关：专家、耻辱容忍和寻求心理帮助的意图。结果表明，将精神疾病归因于心理因素与对心理服务专业知识的更强信念有关。在宗教应对方面，推迟风格与污名容忍度呈负相关，自我指导风格与专业性和污名容忍度呈负相关，而协作风格与寻求帮助的意图呈正相关。最后，与心理服务相关的教会氛围，我们认为是教会层面的因素，与所有 BAPS 分量表相关。讨论了对研究和实践的影响。
