摘要: It is well established that, after prolonged exposure to an uncontrollable situation, symptoms of learned helplessness (LH) emerge in humans as well as in infrahuman species: Performance of new tasks is seriously impaired and signs of emotional distress appear. Despite decades of intensive research, the causal mechanism underlying this fairly general behavioral phenomenon remains obscure.
