Research aim. This study investigates which determinants predict the intention to use SG in psychotherapeutic settings among both relevant application groups: mental health service users (individuals with psychotherapy experience either currently or in the past) and mental health professionals. Since ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and culture highly interplay with (e-mental health) technology uptake (Clough et al., 2019), SG acceptability was assessed in several countries (N = 13) by particularly considering the influence of collectivistic and individualistic culture on usage intentions (Hofstede, 2011; Lee et al., 2013).
Methods. Two web-based surveys (Eichenberg et al., 2016a) – one survey version for each sample – compiling experiences with and attitudes toward psychotherapeutic SG use were conducted between 2016 and 2020 in the following countries: Australia, Canada, China, Finland, Germany, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Russia, Slovenia, South Africa, and the United Kingdo
