Learn that you can defend yourself
Martin Seligman had another comparison group in his famous experiment: there were dogs in which the lever in the first cage worked. When they squeezed it, the shock actually stopped. The dogs learned that fast.
And when they came into the second cage, they were again looking for ways to escape the surge. Because this group of dogs had learned: I can do something against these annoying bumps. And they quickly found out what: They just went through the flap into the cage next door.
No matter what I do, it's wrong?

Martin Seligman called the fate of the first group a "learned helplessness" Once someone has experienced that they are seemingly powerless against a distressing condition - and eventually stops even trying to do anything about it. Even if he's actually in that state light could escape.
Now let's assume you are the person you are. Does the situation with the dogs from your own life seem familiar to you? It is not uncommon for someone to say to themselves: “No matter what I do, everything is always wrong. I can't change my situation. ”
The baby experiment
Learned helplessness was also addressed later People proven. With babies, for example, a similar experiment was carried out as with the dogs. No, without electric shocks. But they were shaken violently in their crib, so that they felt completely different.
Some could do it with a head movement, a sensor in their pillow. Others did not have a sensor. Both groups reacted the same way as the dogs. And one group went to the dogs. Even beyond the baby's age we show similar reactions.
See the way out, if there is one

Now there are situations like the one with the boss in the example above. We are exposed to the arbitrariness of others and possibly actually helpless.
The Problem In this case, we don't see a way out, even when there is suddenly one, for example when the old boss leaves and a new boss comes along. Even then, we continue to think: "What I do doesn't count for those up there anyway."

Learned helplessness, I can imagine, is an ugly, crippling thing. Since you want competent people who can observe well and help those affected in conversation and new experiences back on their feet.

That's right, the biggest problem for many people is that they don't see the forest for the trees themselves, that is, they don't recognize the problem. Indeed, outside help can be useful - for example, from friends, acquaintances, family or a competent coach.
