Learned Helplessness

Learned Helplessness

Defined on page 9 as: "the psychological state that frequently results when events are uncontrollable."

He said that:

Our helplessness has been conditioned, in other words, 'learned".
This creates depressions in us.

Seligman (1975) wrote that:

"Depression is the common cold of psychopathology and has touched the lives of us all"

Humans are different from animals like dogs or pigeons . We can also learn from what Albert Bandura calls "models". We observe actions and consequences, and we learn from them, too. That's why we should be careful when we consume data or texts. Or even when we produce events or texts. They serve as stimuli for others and for us ourselves. 


Hope is perhaps the only thing that we have to fight despair, helplessness, and life uncertainties.
Without hope, we cannot function meaningfully.
