This study examines the relationship between Realistic Optimism and Help-Seeking Behavior among Japanese university students, with a focus on gender differences. Realistic Optimism, defined as maintaining a positive outlook while pragmatically assessing challenges, was hypothesized to positively influence Help-Seeking Behavior. Data were collected from 193 university students (77 male, 116 female) who completed questionnaire of Realistic Optimism and Help-Seeking Behavior. Results indicated a significant positive correlation between Realistic Optimism and Help-Seeking Behavior among male students, but not among female students. These findings suggest that gender plays a significant role in the relationship between Realistic Optimism and Help-Seeking Behavior in the context of Japanese society.
