Abstract

This study aimed at presenting a causal relationship model of help-seeking behavior and intelligence beliefs based on the mediating role of shame and guilt feelings through path analysis. The participants were 213 students selected from high schools of lordegan. The participants completed the Help-Seeking Questionnaire (Ryan & Pintrich, 1997), the Guilt and Shame Proneness Scale (Cohen & Wolf, 2011), and the intelligence beliefs (Abd-El-Fattah& Yates, 2006). The hypothetical model was tested by path analysis. The results indicated that the incremental intelligence beliefs was a positive predictor of help seeking both directly and indirectly through guilt feeling as mediator variables, but the entity intelligence beliefs was a positive predictor of avoidance help seeking both directly and indirectly through shame feeling. This study confirmed causal relationship model of help-seeking behavior and intelligence beliefs based on the mediating role of shame and guilt feelings.
