与寻求帮助相关的心理成本进行了研究。所涉及的具体寻求帮助的费用包括受助人的各种具体费用（例如，接受帮助是否导致成功结果的较少的信用），以及与帮助者相关联的成本（例如，不方便）。研究结果表明，决定是否寻求帮助的人不仅要考虑自己的成本和回报，而且还要考虑他们的帮助者的成本回报意外事件。它还预测和发现，主题的预期任务是特别涉及将寻求较少的帮助，和主题谁要求更多的帮助会感到不太舒服接近助手，并会相信助手会认为他们不太称职。
Psychological costs associated with seeking help were studied. The specific help-seeking costs that were addressed included various costs specific to the recipient (e.g., whether receiving the help leads to less credit for successful outcomes), as well as costs associated with the helper (e.g., inconvenience). The findings suggest that persons deciding whether to seek help take into account not only their own costs and rewards but also the cost-reward contingencies of their helper. It was also predicted and found that subjects for whom the expected tasks were especially involving would seek less help, and that subjects who asked for more help would feel less comfortable about approaching the helper and would believe that the helper would perceive them as less competent.
