Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between motivational, cognition and personality variables with help seeking behavior (help seeking and help avoidance). The research method of this study was descriptive-correlational.  The samples for the study consisted of 557 high school students from different schools in Bushehr city, who were selected randomly through multistages and had completed the motivational- cognition questioner and the  NEO inventory. A Hierarchical Regression analyses indicated that all of the predictor variables had multiple relationships with help seeking. In addition, meta-cognition, performance- approach goals, task value, organization, the need for cognition and conscientiousness were the best predictors of help seeking. Also, the Hierarchical Regression analyses indicated that all of the predictor variables had multiple relationships with help avoidance. In addition, quick learning, rehearsal, neuroticism, academic procrastination, task value and meta-cognition were the best predictors of help avoidance. The results of this study suggest that student help seeking patterns are affected by motivational, cognition and personality factors. In the end, the research results are discussed on the basis of the goal orientation theory, personality traits and meta cognition.
