Document Summary
Martin seligman took pavlov"s research and tried to see what would happen if he took an animal like a dog and what would happen if he rang a bell before zapping it. (couldn"t escape zap)- restrain. Repeated it and gave dog a change to escape during ringing a bell. Found that animal wasn"t interested in escaping because it was so conditioned from the first experience that when the opportunity to escape to prevent itself, he sat there and took the shock (learned helplessness behavior) Adaptive vs. maladaptive patterns associated with learned helplessness: (patterns broken down into): Adaptive: develop or maintain effective or new strategies under adverse conditions. Maladaptive: deterioration in strategies and failure to develop new ones under difficult situations. Adaptive: seek and maintain high persistence even in the face of failure. Non-adaptive: faced with challenge, avoid or show low persistence. Adaptive: takes pride in satisfaction of effort demonstrated in success and unsuccessful situations.
