The main purpose of this study was to investigate structural associates among high school students' perceived parental autonomy support, growth mindset, grit and avoidant help-seeking behaviors. There were 419 high school students participated for this study, and their perceived parental autonomy support, growth mindset, girt and avoidant help-seeking behaviors were collected through on-line survey. Descriptive analyses, Pearson correlation analyses, Structural equation modeling and Boostrapping analyses were performed to explore those relations through SPSS 25.0 and Mplus 8.2. First of all, as the result, it was found that the perceived parental autonomy support had positive effects on growth mindset and grit. Second, the growth mindset worked as a negative mediator for the association between perceived parental autonomy support and avoidant help-seeking behaviors. The results suggested that we should consider not only relations with parents but also individual growth mindset to increase high school students' self-regulated learning. Also, theoretical and practical implications were discussed.

The present research investigated gender-specific response strategies for dealing with peer victimization of preadolescents. Furthermore, coping strategies were explored as moderators of the link between peer victimization and internalizing problems. The participants were 466 preadolescents. Peer victimization, coping strategies, and internalizing problems were assessed through self-report questionnaires. Results showed that girls had significantly higher scores on help seeking, avoidant strategies, and ruminative strategies than boys. In addition, use of avoidant coping and seeking help minimized the effects of peer victimization on internalizing problems in girls. Ruminative coping exacerbated the influence of peer victimization on internalizing problems for both boys and girls.
