About
This program defines the psychological concept of learned helplessness. It reviews Martin E. P. Seligman's research with dogs; considers criticisms of the theory; explores its implications as a model for depression and for human behavior; looks at behavior in such environments as concentration camps, schools, and prisons; and examines the idea of learned optimism as proposed by Seligman.
