Hi all. I am looking for a validated scale to assess whether a person experiences difficulties in asking for help. Does anyone know such a scale? Thanks.
Hi Judith
One tool that I have good experience with is costs of seeking support
Anderson S.E. & Williams L.J. (1996) Interpersonal, job, and individual
factors related to helping processes at work. Journal of
Applied Psychology 81, 282–296.
I used it in two studies and found it potent
Drach-Zahavy, A. (2008). Workplace health friendliness: a cross level model for predicting workers' health. Journal of occupational health psychology, 13(3), 197.
Drach‐Zahavy, A. (2004). Primary nurses’ performance: role of supportive management. Journal of Advanced Nursing, 45(1), 7-16.
Good Luck

Hi Judith,
In Grewen et al 2005, Effects of Partner Support on Resting Oxytocin, Cortisol, Norepinephrine, and Blood Pressure Before and After Warm Partner Contact, they use the SRI, a self-report version of the Social Support Interview.
From an attachment perspective it is well known that Avoidantly attached people seek less support from others compared to Secure or Anxiously attached.
