The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between relational efficacy and concern
about help-seeking from same-sex friends, given the fear of negative response and stigmatization.
Sixty-one same-sex friends were participated in this study. The results were analyzed using a
multilevel structural equation model that indicated: (a) high relational efficacy leads to low concern
for help seeking, for fear of negative response and for stigmatization; (b) perceived relational efficacy
decreases fear of negative response, controlled for relational longevity. These results offer implications
toward developing a new strategy for decreasing concern about help seeking.
