The university experience can be mentally and physically challenging hence increasing the need for students to seek psychological support from trained professionals at universities' psychological and counselling support centres. The underlying mechanisms responsible for favourable attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help are still in dearth. Consequently, this study examined the relationship between mental health literacy (MHL) and psychological help-seeking attitudes (PHSA) through a moderated mediation model of distress disclosure (DD) and religiosity. The participants comprised 320 undergraduate students sampled at the Abraka campus of Delta State University, Nigeria. The sample consists of 116(36.3%) males and 204(63.7%) females with an average age of 20.75 years (SD= ±2.51). Standardised instruments with proven psychometric properties were used to collect the data. A regression-based analysis complemented by model 4 and model 14 of the PROCESS Macro plug-in tool through version 25 of the IBM-SPSS Statistics was adopted for testing the hypotheses. Results for the direct effects indicated that MHL and DD positively and significantly predicted PHSA. Also, there was a positive significant effect between MHL and DD. DD mediated the relationship between MHL and PHSA while religiosity moderated the relationship between DD and PHSA. The index of moderated mediation was also found to be significant with further analysis indicating that the positive impact of MHL on PHSA through DD decreases when religiosity increases and increases when religiosity decreases. These results have important implications for mental health intervention in higher institutions and highlight the possible barriers to seeking professional psychological help. These findings led to the conclusion that MHL, DD, and religiosity are valuable mechanisms to take into account when making policies to improve favourable PHSA.
