Motivation to seek help and help efficiency in students who failed in an initial task

作者：

Highlights：

• Research has focused on help-seeking (HS) intentions rather than HS behaviors.

• We studied real-life HS behaviors in computer-based learning settings.

• We compared the motivational profiles of those who accepted versus declined help.

• Contrary to studies of HS intentions, the profiles differed solely on self-efficacy.

• Self-efficacy also mattered regarding HS efficiency.
