Abstrakt: Personality is significant in distinguishing the individual differences in the characteristic patterns of human thinking, feeling and behavior. By extension, there is a likelihood that personality can influence the development of self-stigma of getting psychological help among individuals. However, no research has investigated the effect of personality factors on the stigma related to obtaining psychological help. The study aims to fill the existing literature gap concerning the relationship between personality traits, mental well-being, and self-stigma of obtaining psychological help. The association between these factors among 86 students in a Malaysian university was investigated using logistic regression and decision tree learner. The experimental results recorded an accuracy of 0.778 and Cohen's Kappa score of 0.455 for Logistic Regression and an accuracy of 0.833 and a Cohen's Kappa score of 0.571 for the decision tree learner. The findings of this paper proved that the personality traits of a student can determine his/her self-stigma towards getting psychological help, and ironically mental health does not help in determining the self-stigma towards seeking help.
