Peer reviewedKarabenick, Stuart A.; Knapp, John R. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1991
Correlates of help-seeking by college students were examined in 3 studies involving a total of 1,539 students. Evidence from all three studies supports the view that help-seeking in college is an achievement-related, rather than a dependent, behavior. Active learners were more likely to seek help when needed.
