Abstract
This study used a mixed-methods approach to identify beliefs about seeking and receiving help and their relation to behaviors and well-being. Thematic Analysis of qualitative data (Study 1, N = 81) identified five beliefs that were validated via factor analytic modeling (Study 2, N = 735): Help is Useful, the Help Process is Enjoyable, Help Diminishes Me, Help Threatens My Independence, and Helpers Can be Trusted. We call this belief taxonomy HELPS (Helpful, Enjoyable, Lessens, indePendence, and Safe). The relative importance of the HELPS beliefs in predicting help seeking, help receiving, and subjective well-being was examined via relative weights analysis using time-separated data (Study 3, N = 192). Safe and Enjoyable beliefs explained the most variance across different criteria. Additionally, beliefs demonstrated incremental validity in predicting receiving help, life satisfaction, and positive affect. The identified beliefs have significant implications for understanding mixed experiences of help and promoting positive help-receiving experiences.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
