Help Seeking and Need for Academic Assistance.
Karabenick, Stuart A.; Knapp, John R.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v80 n3 p406-08 Sep 1988
The functional relation between the need for academic assistance and help seeking was examined for 612 undergraduates at a large midwestern university. Results support a curvilinear relation between help seeking and need for assistance; help-seeking increased from low to moderate need levels, then decreased for high need levels. (TJH)
