Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Seligman's study of learned helplessness in dogs consisted of two parts: In the first part, the dogs were placed in a shuttle box where they received random electric shocks that they could not avoid or escape from, resulting in them exhibiting helpless behavior. In the second part, the dogs were placed in a similar shuttle box, but this time the barrier was low enough for them to jump over and escape the shocks. However, the dogs still displayed helpless behavior, suggesting that the learned helplessness from the first part generalized to the second part, even though escape was now possible. None of the other statements are true according to the context of the study.
