Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The phenomenon described in the question is called learned helplessness. This occurs when an individual repeatedly encounters negative or uncontrollable experiences and begins to believe that they have no control over the outcome of a situation.

Loss aversion, repression, and self-serving bias are not directly related to this concept.
