Question
view that depression results from the perception of no control over the reinforcements in life
learned helplessness model
learned powerlessness model
learned uselessness model
learned restlessness model
learned worthlessness model
The learned helplessness model in psychology posits that when individuals perceive they have no control over life's reinforcements (rewards or positive outcomes), they may develop depression. This concept was studied by Seligman, where animals (and by extension humans) exposed to inescapable negative stimuli (like shocks) later failed to attempt escape even when escape was possible, showing a "learned" sense of helplessness regarding control over the situation. The other options like "learned powerlessness" (not a standard term in this context - helplessness is the key term), "learned coolness", "learned restlessness", and "learned worthlessness" (worthlessness is more about self - perception in some depression models but not directly tied to the "no control over reinforcements" aspect as directly as helplessness) are either incorrect terms or less directly relevant.
