LEARNED HELPLESSNESS: PROBLEM, THEORY & INTERVENTION.


17418. LEARNED HELPLESSNESS: PROBLEM, THEORY & INTERVENTION. This paper examines the phenomenon of learned helplessness, an orientation in the learner leading to both motivational and cognitive disturbances (and related deficits in performance). The academic literature on learned helplessness in both children and adults is reviewed. Drawing primarily on Seligman’s reformulated theory of learned helplessness, but also considering Dweck’s self-theories, the paper describes the problem of learned helplessness and examines its underlying mechanisms. Cognitive intervention strategies to address the problem consistent with Seligman’s and Dweck’s models are presented and discussed. A plan to evaluate the impact of these strategies, and a discussion of why learning may have failed to occur is also presented. KEYWORDS: learning theory motivation failure identity attributional retraining social cognitive theory. Written 2004. 20 pages, 134 footnotes, 46 bibliographic references. 4,698 words.   $133
