In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4920136\/\">a 2016 paper following up on their original study<\/a>, the two concluded that (for dogs, at least) passivity and helplessness is the default reaction to stress. In other words, in Martin Seligman&#8217;s dog experiment, the dogs hadn\u2019t learned to be helpless at all; rather, they\u2019d <em>failed to learn<\/em> how to escape an unpleasant situation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>However, that doesn\u2019t mean learned helplessness doesn\u2019t exist in people. <\/strong>In fact, psychologists now believe that <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s10896-007-9078-y\">learned helplessness is a contributing factor to depression<\/a>\u2014which we\u2019ll discuss momentarily\u2014and other mental disorders such as Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Learned Helplessness? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In psychology, learned helplessness<\/strong><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><strong>is the belief that you can\u2019t change things and that your efforts won\u2019t make a difference.<\/strong> It\u2019s called <em>learned <\/em>helplessness because it comes from experience: You go through important situations in which you can\u2019t change the outcome, so you come to believe that you can\u2019t affect the outcome of <em>any <\/em>important situation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After Martin Seligman conducted his dog experiment, he also found that many people learn helplessness as children, especially from their parents and teachers. Every time an adult dismisses a child\u2019s contributions and ignores his or her efforts, it ingrains helplessness into that child\u2019s psyche.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, children truly <em>are <\/em>helpless against unkind, unfriendly, and hostile adults\u2014adults have all the power, both physically and socially, so children can\u2019t do anything but try to avoid or endure them. Sometimes people carry that sense of helplessness into adulthood and don\u2019t recognize that they aren\u2019t powerless anymore.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Childhood trauma, including being bullied or neglected by adults, can leave a person with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.focusforhealth.org\/kids-are-not-alright-how-trauma-affects-development\/\">lifelong feelings of fear, anxiety, and depression<\/a>. The helplessness they learn from those traumatic events can shape their entire personality and self-image, even into adulthood. In other words, Seligman is saying that a child who learns that he or she is helpless might carry that lesson forever.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What was the significance of Martin Seligman&#8217;s dog experiments?
