Previous work suggests that student dispositional attributes have an effect on help-seeking behaviors. We report on studies attempting to apply this work to a computer-supported collaborative environment that suggest that dispositional attributes of motivation orientation and self-efficacy may be more easily examined in the context of task choices that follow failure events as part of an experimental design. Two studies that have lead to this conclusion are discussed, as well as plans for a recovery-from failure study in preparation.
