Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the factors which affect a mother's help-seeking behavior concerning child's problems. Participants were 450 mothers whose children's ages ranged from three to six. They were asked to complete a questionnaire. Results suggested that mother's recognition of the relationship between child and help-seeking partner (β=.16~.38, p<.01) and mother's seriousness of child's problem (β=.24-~.44, p<.01)enhances mother's help-seeking behavior. It was suggested that establishing support systems for mothers was important to enhance mothers' help-seeking behaviors.
