Answer to Question 1
Martin Seligman described the phenomenon of learned helplessness, which occurs when animals encounter conditions over which they have no control. If rats are confronted with a situation in which they receive occasional foot shocks, they can function well if they learn to cope with these shocks by doing something to avoid them (say, pressing a lever). But if the animals learn that their behavior has no effect on their environmentsometime s they get shocked and sometimes they don't, no matter what they dothey become helpless; they give up attempting to cope and seem to develop the animal equivalent of depression.
Seligman theorized that the same phenomenon may happen with people who are faced with uncontrollable stress. People become depressed if they decide or think they can do little about the stress in their lives, even if it seems to others that there is something they could do. This finding illustrates, again, the necessity of recognizing that different people process information about events in different ways. These cognitive differences are an important component of psychopathology.
