q2 · i? · review · r2

The chapter classifies help seeking as a behavioral regulation strategy that also involves contextual control because it requires procuring help from others. Dependent help seeking, aimed at finishing quickly without learning, is described as generally maladaptive for the goal of understanding.

"It appears that good students and good self-regulators know when, why, and from whom to seek help"
