Abstract: Li et al. (2023) reported a comprehensive systematic review of academic help-seeking behavior of college students. Their review included studies from nearly twenty countries, although most of them were from the United States of America. Five broad themes were identified characterizing students' help-seeking behaviors, including (1) definitions, theories, types and processes of the behavior, (2) the relationship of help-seeking and performance, (3) resource types, locations, and frequencies, (4) positive, negative, and irrelevant factors in help-seeking behavior, and (5) characteristics of online help-seeking behaviors. These culminated in recommendations for four areas of future research. The four areas included the nature of, resources for, factors affecting, and methodologies deployed to study, academic help-seeking behaviors of college students. The present study applies to these future directions the guidelines outlined by Imam (2024) for moving psychology toward achieving a cumulative science as illustrations. Each case illustrates how the research cycle operates differently from the standard research practices commonly deployed in mainstream psychology today. [For the complete proceedings, see ED678661.]
