Why Do Some Students Avoid Asking for Help? An Examination of the Interplay among Students' Academic Efficacy, Teachers' Social-Emotional Role, and the Classroom Goal Structure.
Ryan, Allison M.; Gheen, Margaret H.; Midgley, Carol
Journal of Educational Psychology, v90 n3 p528-35 Sep 1998
Through hierarchical linear modeling, student reports of the avoidance of help seeking were related to student and classroom characteristics of 516 sixth graders. Avoidance of help seeking was related negatively to academic efficacy, but was less strongly related to academic efficacy in classrooms where teachers thought they should tend to students' emotional and social needs.
