Abstract

To understand feedback-seeking processes participants were randomly assigned to read a vignette about an actor (Max) experiencing depression and directly asking for help (i.e.,“I need help”) or indirectly asking for help (i.e.,“asking for a friend”). Familiarity, perceptions of severity, and helpfulness of Max’s friend were significantly different between feedback-seeking strategies.
