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.

Apparently, the optimists maintained their positive expectations about winning even during a losing streak (Gibson & Sanbonmatsu, 2004).
