Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Seligman found a strong association between learned helplessness and depression. A major symptom of depression is the feeling of being unable to control life events. Seligman referred to depression as the ultimate pessimism.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Among college students gambling at a casino near their university, the optimists were far more likely to continue gambling in the face of consistent losses, whereas the pessimists were more likely to stop. Apparently, the optimists maintained their positive expectations about winning even during a losing streak (Gibson & Sanbonmatsu, 2004).
