The present study investigated the relationships between SES (Socio-Economic Status), attachment, and help-seeking in childhood. A total of 162 elementary school students responded to a questionnaire survey that assessed SES, attachment anxiety, attachment avoidance, and help-seeking. The results of a path analysis showed that SES is directly associated with seeking a person to get help. Regarding indirect association, the descriptive statistics and the results of a correlational test indicated a nonlinear association. In sum, while SES is positively related to attachment in children from all but the highest socio-economic groups, among children from the highest socio-economic group, attachment anxiety and avoidance are high. Furthermore, attachment anxiety is negatively related to revealing the reason for wanting help. Those results are discussed from the parenting point of view.
