In this paper, two studies were conducted to examine the effect of internal working model and anticipated cost and benefit on help-seeking intentions. Study 1 examined the effects of internal working model and anticipated cost and benefit on help-seeking intentions. The results of structural equation modeling indicated that the effect of internal working model on help-seeking intentions was mediated by anticipated cost and benefit. The results of Study 2 showed that internal working model affected the actual occurrence of cost and benefit, which in turn influenced the evaluations of help.
