Previous researchers found that motivational factors had the greatest influence on help-seeking behavior.&nbsp; However, data showing students with anxiety disorders were more likely to seek mental health support suggests that test and trait anxiety may have a similar influence on academic help-seeking.&nbsp; In addition, previous research has shown that cues from the learning environment can improve attitudes toward help-seeking, suggesting a potential role of instructor behaviors on help-seeking attitudes.&nbsp; The present study assesses the effects of motivation, anxiety, and instructor behaviors on help-seeking attitudes and classroom confidence.&nbsp; 630 university students were surveyed on their academic experience during the initial quarantine period of the COVID-19 pandemic.&nbsp; The survey employed a variety of measures to investigate the students\u2019 experience of virtual learning, including the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire, Test Anxiety Inventory, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Trait Version, Online Student Engagement Scale, and Instructor-Learner Interaction Scale.&nbsp; Two hierarchical multiple regression analyses were employed to determine whether motivation, anxiety, and instructor behaviors predict students\u2019 (1) attitudes toward help-seeking and (2) classroom confidence.&nbsp; The analysis revealed that motivational factors significantly accounted for 22% of the variance in help-seeking behavior while anxiety and instructor behaviors did not significantly predict help-seeking scores. In addition, motivational factors, anxiety, and instructor behaviors significantly accounted for 38%, 2.3%, and 8.6% of the variance in classroom confidence respectively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Presentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Session 1 \u2013 1:30p.m. \u2013 2:45p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Room C \u2013 Sierra 2411&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patrick Robertson and Dr. Amira Ibrahim\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,26,21],"tags":[8],"class_list":["post-291","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","category-oral","category-room-c","category-session-1","tag-psychology","post"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/src.cikeys.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/291","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/src.cikeys.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/src.cikeys.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/src.cikeys.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/src.cikeys.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=291"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/src.cikeys.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/291\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":559,"href":"https:\/\/src.cikeys.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/291\/revisions\/559"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/src.cikeys.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/src.cikeys.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/src.cikeys.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
