This study endeavors to test whether adolecents' expectations of potential helpers' nurturance and expertise are associated with adolescent selection of an informal help - giver. A sample of 89 adolescents in frades 8 and 11 responded to assessments of help seeking within four different scenarios. Regression analyses revealed that expectations of expertise are important in selecting a mother or father as a potential help giver, whereas expectations of nurturance are influential inchoosing a friend as a potential help giver. Age was not found to modify the relationship between expectations and selection of a helper and gender modified the relationship in only one scenario. Results are discussed in terms of adolescent help seeking as having a dual function, that of information seeking and relationship development.
