Peer feedback can be an effective learning aid. However, providing peer feedback so that it is used by the receiver, is very difficult. Adding feedback requests to the peer feedback process may improve the quality of peer feedback. However, little is known about how feedback requests affect peer feedback responses. In this study, fifty-four…

The current research examined how seeking versus receiving help affected children's memory and confidence decisions. Baseline performance, when no help was available, was compared to performance when help could be sought (Experiment 1: N = 83, 41 females) or was provided (Experiment 2: N = 84, 44 females) in a sample of predominately White 5-, 7-,…

Seeking help is an essential step for victims of bullying to cope with and possibly stop bullying and thus prevent and reduce the consequences of bullying. Focusing on the group of bullied adolescents, however, shows that many of them do not seek help. This study aimed to: (1) describe the prevalence of help-seeking for bullying victimization; (2)…

Studies have shown that students have different help-seeking behavior patterns and tendencies and furthermore, that students with certain help-seeking behavior patterns and tendencies may have poor performance (i.e., at-risk students). This study applied an educational data mining approach, including clustering and classification, to analyze…

Individuals with dyslexia have been shown to have an increased risk for developing internalizing problems. Various studies have revealed the powerful role that culture plays in determining the type of anxiety and coping strategies adopted by various groups of individuals. However, compared to the vast number of studies conducted in individualistic…

Purpose: The lateral feedback seeking literature has primarily examined lower-level employees' feedback seeking from peers. Thus, the authors still know very little about feedback seeking when the leader is the "seeker" and peers are the "targets" of such seeking. The purpose of this paper is to expand existing discussions on…

An abundance of academic resources exists for supporting college students enrolled in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors. However, the dearth of research on supporting STEM students' mental health is concerning, as STEM students face unique risks for mental health distress and utilize mental health services at lower…

Sex differences in academic behaviours have long been a concern for adolescent developmental researches. Evidences concerning sex differences in academic seeking help (AHS) behaviours are inconsistent. This paper aims to use meta-analysis to determine whether there is sex difference in AHS behaviours. After extensive retrieval and rigorous…

A high percentage of students enter college with prior trauma, and trauma-informed practices are increasingly recognized as valuable in higher education. We examined if the tone of a syllabus would interact with levels of trauma or stress to impact participants' perceptions of the instructor, willingness to seek help, and self-efficacy. We tested…

Objective: To assess athletic trainers' (ATs) perceptions regarding the importance of athletes' beliefs and athletic department stakeholders in facilitating help-seeking for mental health (MH) care. Participants: 534 ATs within collegiate athletic departments (M[subscript age] = 35.50 years; 64.2% women; 87.3% White). Methods: ATs were asked to…

Despite high rates of distress in college student populations, many students do not seek help for mental health issues. The context in which mental health help-seeking occurs is not well understood. Cognitive models of depression provide a theoretical understanding of how depression symptoms may promote the internalization of stigma beliefs, thus…

Metacognitive monitoring, recognizing when one is accurate or not, is important because judgments of one's performance or knowledge often relate to control decisions, such as help seeking. Unfortunately, children and adults struggle to accurately monitor their performance during number-magnitude estimation. People's accuracy in estimating number…

This study applied a qualitative methodology and generated descriptive data while exploring the food insecurity (FI) of student service members and veterans (SSM/V). Thematic data analysis was used to rigorously interpret the participant's reporting's (Braun, & Clarke, 2006; Terry, et al., 2017). The conceptual framework that informed the…

In the digital era, there has been a growing focus on seeking online academic help-seeking as an effective factor for success in the virtual learning environment. However, the Social Networking Self-efficacy (SNS) and social presence of students in online learning environments remain underexplored. This study employed a structural model to…

Background: Academic help-seeking benefits students' achievement, but existing literature either studies important factors in students' selection of all help resources via self-reported surveys or studies their help-seeking behavior in one or two separate help resources via actual help-seeking records. Little is known about whether computing…
