Children's Reluctance to Seek Help with Schoolwork.
Newman, Richard S.; Goldin, Laura
Journal of Educational Psychology, v82 n1 p92-100 Mar 1990
Thirty-four boys and 31 girls in grades 2, 4, and 6 were asked about seeking help with mathematics and reading from their parents, teachers, and classmates. Results, discussed in terms of sex and age differences, suggest that low achievers know they need help but hesitate to ask for assistance. (SLD)
