Learned helplessness

Learned Helplessness influenced many researchers to conduct investigation and test their hypothesis. On one of the journals the author wanted to explore “the attribution patterns and development of learned helplessness among young Indian students under conditions of prolonged deprivation”(Mal, Jain, & Yadav, 1989, p.191). Furthermore, the author suggested “The research on learned helplessness needs to take sociocultural differences into account in order to understand the nature and consequences of learned helplessness and to make it more applicable to a wider range of reed life experiences and social contexts” (Mal, Jain, & Yadav, 1989, p.195). The author finding includes where “that high-deprived students not only exhibited poor performance…

The development of learned helplessness phenomenon begin with an accidental finding in Richard Solomon’s (1918-1995) laboratory experiments conducted on dogs, where a series of studies on negative reinforcement was in progress. In Solomon’s experiment, the dogs were placed in an enclosed box divided in half by a chest-barrier. The shock would come on and the dog’s assignment was to jump over the barrier and end the shock. After a brief pause, the shock would come on once more and the dog had to…

the field of psychology, was born in Albany, New York in 1942. In 1964 he earned a bachelor of philosophy from Princeton and in 1967 a PhD in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania where he currently works and is director of the clinical training program. He is responsible for researching the Theory of Learned Helplessness, which led him to a series of significant advances in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of depression. His research on the matter would later contribute to new…

These are explanations for the development of depression and a relevant impact of the learned helplessness on preclinical research (Hankel, Bussfeld, H.-J., & Hegerl, 2002). When experiencing these feeling individuals may also feel lonely and tend to isolate themselves from others (Hammond & Romney, 1995). Summary and Conclusion Depression is the second leading cause of disability (Ma-Li & Licinio, 2001). This is something that could happen early in childhood and continue to plague the…

support is very helpful in managing stress or life events such as the death of a loved one. Hence, this experience has influenced my response to the concept highlighted by Glanz & Viswanath (2015). Even though I believe that everything happens for a reason, I found this hard to believe when my very close friend drowned while I was in college. At the time, it was very difficult to see the blessings in my life and it was hard to appreciate the social support I had. All I felt was pain, and I had a…

“For reasons that the nurse was unable to explain, he had been classed among the more ‘serious’ patients on the sixth floor and so had to go down to the fifth,” he always presumed that the reason he was moving floors was because an outside force was making him and not himself. Because of this, Giovanni Corte eventually developed learned helplessness. Learned helplessness, described in module five, is the sense of hopelessness and resignation learned when a human thinks they have no control over…

since I have been able to talk to all of you. I have been busy making plans for 2017. The first and biggest of those plans have just recently feel into place. I have finally pulled the trigger, cut ties with LA Fitness and have taken the role of independent trainer. No more being employed by a big box gym, and even though I have no idea where this may ultimately lead me, I could not be happier with my decision. No longer do I have to worry about internal gym politics involving clients and…

Learned helplessness has been mentioned in my previous psychology classes, but my professor at MSU painted a much more vivid picture of the research that brought about this concept. It was unnerving to think about animals being trapped in a situation to the extent that they could no longer recognize an escape, when it became available. At the same time, it stimulated my thinking about all the ways in which we, as people, fall into this same misconception. It can be easy to imagine how a child…

find a connection between learned helplessness and depression, achievement and explanatory style. Researchers chose 168 children, 87 boys and 81 females between the ages of 8 to 11 years old participated in this study. The explanatory style was hypothesized that a maladaptive explanatory style could serve to predict future depression. To test this hypothesis, participants were asked to fill out a CDI,CASQ, LEQ five times in a year. Teachers were also invited to complete a student behavior…

Chapter One : The myths that we “debunked” during lecture are really important. In the beginning we learned how to understand these cases and how to look for other sources to prove them wrong. When we finished reviewing these myths, it left me mindblown! I learned lots of information on how opposites attract, the lie detector test, and different learning styles. The scientific method is something that we should have learned about in elementary school but we reviewed it again because these are…
