Asians have shown a tendency of being reluctant to seek help from others. It is important to not only understand what factors affect help-seeking in order to promote help-seeking behaviors, but also necessary to examine the influence of situational differences and cultural background in help-seeking. In the present review, studies of help-seeking in China were classified into 4 categories: 1) demographic variables, 2) personality variables, 3) network variables, and 4) helper and method. In general, the findings from the literature on revealed many studies on gender differences, type of helpers and help-seeking behaviors, but very few studies were found on the psychological factors that affect help-seeking among Chinese students compared to other countries. Consequently, this gap points to the need for more research emphasis on Chinese children and adolescent 1) help-seeking intentions and attitudes 2) the psychological variables which affect Chinese children and adolescent help-seeking behaviors, and 3) help-seeking attitudes among Chinese international students studying abroad.
