Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Archie's behavior of rarely answering any questions and feeling "knocked down" everywhere he turns suggests that he has developed learned helplessness, which often leads to symptoms of depression. Learned helplessness occurs when an individual experiences consistent failure or negative outcomes in their environment, leading them to believe they have no control over their situation and that their efforts are futile, which can lead to depression. Hostility and aggression (option A) are not mentioned or implied in the scenario. Dissociative disorder (option B) and pressure and burnout (option D) are not supported by the information provided.
