As a musician I will testify that this is a very real phenomenon as it does happen in music often. I could play the majority of a song just fine, and then as soon as I play one wrong note then suddenly I start to play more wrong notes and mess the song up further.
It's crazy to see how generational disparities such as toxic relationships creates mental handicaps in our brains. That in turn cripples us in different ways that can lead to more toxic relationships for future generations in your family. I watched my mom go through three alcoholic abusive relationships. One step-father constantly reminded me I wasn't his child and he was physically abusive. He made me feel stupid when he would help me with my homework and pressured me to figure out answers until he reduced me to tears. I had friends in grade school who reminded I wasn't from their Indian Tribe. I was different. A combination of these things broke my self-confidence and made me feel unworthy. As a young naive teenager, I met someone who emotionally validated me with love and attentiveness. I ended up marrying him young, 18 years old. He turned out to be narcissistic. 30 years later I'm learning about Learned Helplessness thanks to my psychologist. This recovery is going to be loooong!
Good example. The leader in the the field of Positive Psychology was Dr. Martin Seligman in his book "Learned Optimism" which goes into great lengths on how to overcome learned helplessness.
It takes a really good person to recognize if someone is suffering from induced helplessness. This could be the worse condition and can further to a chronic disease. The entire school system should be highly dedicated to not do this to people. The school system was not designed to destroy the minds of the people but build on them. This is the most important factor as a grade school teacher to look out for this at all times.
"Unprecedented Human Rights Violations" Study Room 北九州連続殺人鬼の松永太も狙った家庭の親類縁者すべてを、皮膚が焼けただれるほどの電気ショック拷問にかけて、このLearned Helplessness（学習性無力感）にして抵抗できなくさせ、さらに恐怖による洗脳でコントロールして自分の家族を自分たちで殺させています。なお殺人鬼・松永太の刑事裁判ではLearned Helplessness（学習性無力感）が法廷に登場しています。また尼崎連続殺人鬼の角田美代子はこの松永太の手口について、腐敗警官が横流しした非合法な情報ルートから学んで参考にし、犯行に及んでいたことがわかっています。
Schools do watch out for this at all times. They need to ensure that they are doing a good job at destroying kids minds, self esteem, and freedom to have their own individual thoughts.
At its most basic level, learned helplessness is the result of punishment being applied to an animal that can't control what it's being punished for. This is why Dr Nixon asked about "the biggest fear of an adolescent" at the start, to illustrate what the aversive was. The students with the impossible task were unable to control their actions and were punished for it by not fitting in, giving them the learned helplessness.
This teacher made me cry because this was the reality for too many children who are young adults now, and they will never stand up for themselves. But they are not the only losers, the entire society is. All babies smile, but not all of them continue to smile... just because some of them were born in the wrong place, or time, and other people let them think they are wrong and helpless.
It's a good esperiment, I think another thing that could be learned from this is how important it is to understand our own limits/doubts about completing a task and seek for help, rather than assuming we just aren't good enough to do it or that we are not as good as others. For example, after the 1 word "whirl", not finding a solution, by raising the hand and asking the teacher what would be the correct answer. I'd love to see what the teacher would have said if someone had asked for the solution, and how that would have impacted the experiment
I love this. I remember learning this for my psych degree. Another experiment I remember seeing was of a few people in the group were in on the experiment and the teacher or host would hold up an image asked the group what it was. The people that were in on the test would say the image was something that it clearly was not. The people that were being studied quickly started to agree what those people were saying the image was, even though it CLEARLY was not right. Psychology is super interesting.
thats not learned helplessness but more of conformity. This looks more into Asch Experiment. Learned Helplessness is more about uncontrolled outcomes and applying that same feeling to that certain action all the time. Asch Experiment talks more about you having an opinion or answer towards something but the majority thinks otherwise and you give in to their answer and abandon your own opinion because it is more likely that the majority is right.
You should feel smarter because you thought outside the box (not limiting it to one word) and came up with a novel answer. That's called innovation! (Or cheating.)
Learned helplessness is what some employers inflict on some employees. It done so they just function robotically and don't climb. Every effort to do well is thwarted and made difficult or impossible. Then your also punished socially. Where for others (the chosen ones) its made super easy to do well as they are given a structured path.
Thank you for that video! This should be taught in high schools or earlier. I thought learned helplessness happens when something bad is done to us over and over again. This experiment showed me how quickly it can affect us. What a special and passionate teacher you are! Thank you.
This video, and others like it, need hundreds of millions of views. Just looking at my own current situation I can see how something like this could be (or even already is) an ongoing issue.
One of the most constructive and rewarding experiences in my life was going to theatre school. I no longer work in theatre, but having to perform for my instructors in front of my class and fail over and over and over and over again and struggle and find success and then fail the next time was amazing. I now am more confident. I take criticism better than most people I know. I can publicly speak if I need to (I still absolutely get nervous but I can compartmentalize it). I would encourage anyone at any age to try out improv, or acting classes.
Such an oldie but so glad it showed up on my feed. Learned helplessness, something i learned about all those years ago. I hope more will see this gem of a video.
You should also look to Dr. Margin Seligman who has spent 30 years in the field of positive psychology. His book "Learned Optimism: How to change your mind and your life" is what Dr. Charisse Nixon seems to have based her work on. He also has a TED talk that is very informative.
Great example video, many people out there are not even aware of this. Made me a little teary just watching the video because this can happen so easily. Such as being a victim in bulling, domestic violence, child abuse, sexual abuse etc. It's easy for people who don't understand the process your mid goes through a strong negative traumatic situation, to say, why didn't you just leave or said something about it, took an action? You can't when you have "learned helplessness" it happens were you don't even realize it happened and your way of thinking is and has already been trained a certain way, :(
Read the concept of Learned Helplessness in Class 11 Psychology Textbook but I didn't understand completely. But watching this fantastic video now things are quite clearer. Thanks for valuable information.
Look we tell the truth no matter what forcing diversity to widen things to become unreal makes people understand where they stand hate is hate different beliefs are different beliefs no matter so basically they force their ideology lies fake intelligence to make you helpless education system is worthless it's made for the rich but we got to live
Interested to discover this. I've been studying psychological violence - in particular verbal abuse and control (VAC). Recently come into contact with a young adult with extreme social anxiety and lack of self esteem. In VAC something similar is "defining" a person. I am trying to find out more and would love to hear from young adults who have also suffered by controlling parents.
I think it is important to learn about this concept, yet I think it would help more to learn how to defeat the mindset. I believe military training is good at this. I remember some of the experiences in boot camp were set up so you can't help but fail, and then you were commanded to continue despite the failure. I know this changed my mindset about failure in a positive way. Failure needs to be addressed and one has to take responsibility for it, yet you have to push past it and shrug it off in the moment because hesitation and distractions can get you killed, at least in extreme situations. I think the only thing that comes close to this experience is weight lifting because in weight lifting, the whole point is to fail. By bringing your muscles to failure, that is when they are stimulated to grow. But you have to keep going back and keep failing; you KNOW you are going to fail before you even go, yet you continue to go because you know you will get stronger. Psychologically fascinating.
Parents enable “helplessness” which transitions into adulthood and subsequent relationships..it’s a form of manipulation and destructive ..it’s a fine line at times..a mothers love is abundant..but..love is strengthening love is creating independence..love is modeling tools for survival..I learned these tools thru a difficult journey and to young...my greatest wish was that my children learned them from early on..to spare them my journey..that is a mother’s love..
I had a professor who did that same exact assignment last semester. It's useful. I just wish my professor could've been this entertaining for the rest of the lecture. Power points suck.
God ,i really like this teacher. Unlike the other she introduce learn helpnesess and then implies that in realistic life rather than just motivational word
This is a lesson worth sharing. The readers comments below infer this class was only 5 minutes long. The teacher had plenty of time in the rest of the class and the rest of the semester, to make certain both the girls and the boys got plenty of doses of postivie reinforcement.
So, in conclusion, and please correct me if I'm mistaken, it seems that when someone faces a challenge, it's crucial to demonstrate to them that they can achieve their goals through repetition. Is this accurate? For example, our school policy dictates that students with dyslexia receive lengthy test or examination texts at least one day in advance so they can read them beforehand. Some of my students with dyslexia have excelled in my class. I did notice that they no longer required this assistance, so I discontinued the extra support. While they initially experienced anxiety when the support was removed, after the test, they realized that they still performed exceptionally well. Therefore, my theory is that their anxiety stemmed from a belief that they still needed the help, whereas, in reality, years of professional support had equipped them to manage their dyslexia. In this context, my question is whether the additional support might do more harm than good. My intuition suggests that it may instill more self-doubt than empowerment. Am i correct? For your information, I myself have dyslexia.
This experiment has a flaw in that the students with the easy list could have worked out the first two in a few seconds, giving them half the time required for the first word and the full time for the second word working out the third word. Meanwhile the other students would have been trying to process the words "whirl" and "slapstick" during the entire time allocated to solving them. A better example would have been to provide the three words separately and only allowed them to see each word at the start of trying to solve the answer for that word. I assume the results would be similar, but maybe not as polarising.
wow, learned helplessness huh.. I've been living with this irritant for years after failing one test, or losing one friend. I'm glad to know what it's called.
@matleyz except that's two words ;). and it's a name of a company which is capitalized, and in general, you don't use capitalized words in puzzles (and so in anagrams).
i have learned helplessness, and i don't know what to do, i'm already a 20 years old and my parents want to throw me out from their apartments because i can't work at any job and don't have any skills and just absolutely non-independent, i don't know how to live further and how to survive, this helplessness also affects on my ability to study and understand something, i just can't study anything and do not learn anything no matter how many hours i'm spends on practice and theory, my brain just don't work and only threw me into apathy and depression instantly, when i'm trying to study anything, my brain just can't stand any even little pressure on him, he just instantly crashing from overload. My country don't have adequate and good psychologists and psychiatrists, most people here hate me and bullying me, most people beating me and want to kill me, i've been beated 4 times for 2020 year, a lot of people gets killed by this inadequate people here and police supports them and society supports them, my parents same inadequate people as them, they wish me death too and few times tried to beat me, earlier my whole life they overprotected me, so my brain don't even know how it, to think by yourself and do by yourself something, i just don't understand what i want, i don't understand who i want to be and what i want to do, i don't enjoy anything and don't like anything, everything only make me suffer, i just don't understand how to live and how to save myself and survive and fix me.
Sweetheart, I hope you're still alive and I hope you're doing better. I hope you have found some good self-therapy and helped yourself, I know how hard it is. 😞
@@sorshamooncake of course i would be still alive, do i have a choice? it's existence with agony or nothing at all, none of this options is better in this case
The problem with this example is that on the 3rd word, there was about an equal amount of people on both sides of the room that put up their hand, approximately 7 on each side from what I could see. I think learned helplessness exists, but this was not a good example of it.
+One I saw that too. But I wonder more things: How did the people on different sides *feel*? How many would have solved it with a few more minutes? And how would it have went on to affect their day?
As a teacher in 2024, I can confidently say that I never, ever ask students to put their hand up if they got the answer right. It achieves nothing but humiliation from those who didn't and smugness from those who did.
All very true! Got to say though, my only issue being that learned helplessness applies to both sexes, I would say equally. I have met plenty of very confident women in work and school over the years.
The Stasi's Directive 'Perceptions' To develop apathy (in the subject)...to achieve a situation in which his conflicts, whether of a social, personal, career, health or political kind are irresolvable…to give rise to fears in him.....to develop/create disappointments.....to restrict his talents or capabilities.....to reduce his capacity to act and.....to harness dissentions and contradictions around him for that purpose... (Funder, "Stasiland")
For me it doesn't looks like Learned helplessness. The right half of the class after solving second question would have already started solving the third. But the left side of the class was still occupied in solving the first 2. They just ignored the instructions to move to third question. The words should been introduced one by one to entire class. Now in the modern times, the same experiment can be repeated with digital gadgets and slido. We can then see if the same phenomenon is observed
@xXPinkGoddessXx But, anyway. I'm getting a little tired of this conversation. We've been talking for ages, and I'm forgetting where we started off. I'm happy to continue talking with you, if you'd like to continue, or you have more questions, and if I come up with some to ask you, but I think I'd rather not be debating, especially on a youtube video (where people get really grumpy). :D
Great video. But could you change the cover image (the thumbnail) with a more representative and appealing one, like the teacher speaking? This is done easily in You Tube edit video settings mode. Thank you.
@xXPinkGoddessXx Actually, it's true. In many cultures, girls do have a cultural pressure to act how they're told, usually by an older male, such as her husband or father, and not how they want to act. Though, this isn't neccessarily true for many cultures. For example, in NZ, where I live, girls have just as much of a tendency to be rough, loud, or quiet as any guy. Both genders live the same way.
when they lie to you , you have to think about more bits of information,[ your own ideas plus theirs,] and it takes more time to see if they can be matched up or not. That's how we learn . Then you also have to deal with being sad and/or angry about people. The dog on the box is neither giving up, nor is he stupid. He has common sense.
@Huck1942 THANK YOU!!!! I agree 100%. The funny thing is, the first example that pops into the girls head is a boy who is refused by a girl. There's not much on earth that kills your will power more than that - and it's a male problem alone! Not to mention expectations on career and so on.
I don't doubt that failure can be demotivating, but I would have liked to have heard what the results were of the experiment she actually did in the classroom. Unless I missed it, the video never reveals how many of each side of the room succeeded in finding the anagram of "Cinerama." For all we know, there may have been no difference, or the results may have been the opposite of what the thesis states. I wonder: Did she ever reveal the outcome to the students?
Yes, in fact, I saw some students on the left side who, despite the fact that the first questions were wrong, raised their hands in the third. While I saw others on the right side, who despite being in "confidence", did not raise their hands. Anyway, suspect.
The 'cycles' that seem to never end, the same damn patterns repeating themselves over and over, but... Some just give in. It's easier to give up and give in sometimes, when we learn that we just CAN'T do it. It becomes implicit memory. Maybe this is even why I'm not studying and stuff. But what's the cure?
Compare the Stasi's instruction,"Perception" to Seligman's "Learned Helplessness." You will find significant similarities between these two concepts. This is an evidence that psychological studies are abused in power crimes. (Stasi is Esat-German's secret police which is equivalent to FBI. The Stasi's Directive 'Perceptions' To develop apathy (in the subject)...to achieve a situation in which his conflicts, whether of a social, personal, career, health or political kind are irresolvable...
I have this. I made so many bad decisions the first thing I feel before making any decision is sheer terror. I'm perfectly aware of how destructive this is, the point is HOW THE FUCK DO I DEFEAT THAT.
Articulate to yourself as well as you can how you want to feel when you make a decision and practice imagining yourself deciding and feeling that way. If you simulate a better situation for yourself there are parts of your brain that can’t tell the difference between what you experience externally and what you imagine, and it is the equivalent of digging up earth to prepare and allow a stream (your thoughts) to follow a new path. TLDR; allow yourself to imagine the way you want things to be and it trains your brain to try for that. Brains are dumb and if you just tell them what you don’t want they don’t necessarily know what to do instead.
As a musician I will testify that this is a very real phenomenon as it does happen in music often. I could play the majority of a song just fine, and then as soon as I play one wrong note then suddenly I start to play more wrong notes and mess the song up further.

Hope your ok
These things make my blood boil with rage...
It's ironic that inherited genetic traits can make you more or less sensitive to all of those environmental factors

What an amazing teacher. God I love psychology. I knew all of this already but she still made it so interesting.
This teacher made me cry because this was the reality for too many children who are young adults now, and they will never stand up for themselves.
But they are not the only losers, the entire society is.
All babies smile, but not all of them continue to smile... just because some of them were born in the wrong place, or time, and other people let them think they are wrong and helpless.
This is so true, happened to me recently, in my PhD. Confidence is main thing, avoid toxic friends and toxic mentors
It's a good esperiment, I think another thing that could be learned from this is how important it is to understand our own limits/doubts about completing a task and seek for help, rather than assuming we just aren't good enough to do it or that we are not as good as others.
For example, after the 1 word "whirl", not finding a solution, by raising the hand and asking the teacher what would be the correct answer.
I'd love to see what the teacher would have said if someone had asked for the solution, and how that would have impacted the experiment
Oh wow, 13 years later during online school, and this video gave me chills. It was very insightful.
I love this. I remember learning this for my psych degree. Another experiment I remember seeing was of a few people in the group were in on the experiment and the teacher or host would hold up an image asked the group what it was. The people that were in on the test would say the image was something that it clearly was not. The people that were being studied quickly started to agree what those people were saying the image was, even though it CLEARLY was not right. Psychology is super interesting.
thats not learned helplessness but more of conformity. This looks more into Asch Experiment. Learned Helplessness is more about uncontrolled outcomes and applying that same feeling to that certain action all the time. Asch Experiment talks more about you having an opinion or answer towards something but the majority thinks otherwise and you give in to their answer and abandon your own opinion because it is more likely that the majority is right.
No, I know it was not learned helplessness. That's why I said 'other' test. I was just sharing.
Great job. We all do need teachers like her to learn how to live in this world.
I felt even more stupid because I turned the 3rd word into "A Rice Man".
LOL
this is hilarious!
You should feel smarter because you thought outside the box (not limiting it to one word) and came up with a novel answer.
That's called innovation! (Or cheating.)
You overperformed!
🤣
Learned helplessness is what some employers inflict on some employees. It done so they just function robotically and don't climb. Every effort to do well is thwarted and made difficult or impossible.

Great example video, many people out there are not even aware of this. Made me a little teary just watching the video because this can happen so easily. Such as being a victim in bulling, domestic violence, child abuse, sexual abuse etc. It's easy for people who don't understand the process your mid goes through a strong negative traumatic situation, to say, why didn't you just leave or said something about it, took an action? You can't when you have "learned helplessness" it happens were you don't even realize it happened and your way of thinking is and has already been trained a certain way, :(
Yeah, that's why parenting is so important and the past plays such a huge role in our future.
What a GREAT teacher!! I wish I were in her class in 1987!!
In summary: You lose hope, you lose the will to try.
On another note, I wish I had a cool teacher like her. My professors were so boring...
Read the concept of Learned Helplessness in Class 11 Psychology Textbook but I didn't understand completely. But watching this fantastic video now things are quite clearer. Thanks for valuable information.

😢😢 it's hard life
I had a professor who did that same exact assignment last semester. It's useful. I just wish my professor could've been this entertaining for the rest of the lecture. Power points suck.
God ,i really like this teacher. Unlike the other she introduce learn helpnesess and then implies that in realistic life rather than just motivational word
Wow idk there was a term for it. Truly makes me relieved I'm not the only one. I've had it for over 10 yrs
This is pure gold♥️
This is a lesson worth sharing. The readers comments below infer this class was only 5 minutes long. The teacher had plenty of time in the rest of the class and the rest of the semester, to make certain both the girls and the boys got plenty of doses of postivie reinforcement.
I'm here for my Psychology course!
I wish she’d been my teacher. She’s incredible. Even in how she explains.
Oh i loved her classes!
Really good explanation of psychologists Mark Seligman and Steve Maier experiment, "Learned helplessness"!!!!
I would like to see more of such videos
this psychology class is everything compared to zoom classes now :( damn covid
So, in conclusion, and please correct me if I'm mistaken, it seems that when someone faces a challenge, it's crucial to demonstrate to them that they can achieve their goals through repetition. Is this accurate?
For example, our school policy dictates that students with dyslexia receive lengthy test or examination texts at least one day in advance so they can read them beforehand.

For your information, I myself have dyslexia.
Simple yet very effective exercise! will use it!
wish i had a teacher like this
0:59. Reviving Ophelia. I remember that book.
this experience actually is more important and has a bigger impact on individuals as well as collective groups and we shouldn't take it lightly
This experiment has a flaw in that the students with the easy list could have worked out the first two in a few seconds, giving them half the time required for the first word and the full time for the second word working out the third word. Meanwhile the other students would have been trying to process the words "whirl" and "slapstick" during the entire time allocated to solving them. A better example would have been to provide the three words separately and only allowed them to see each word at the start of trying to solve the answer for that word. I assume the results would be similar, but maybe not as polarising.
Is there a longer video?
Western education always tells the 'why' but never the 'how to resolve it'.
There is nothing like a helicopter parent to cause learned helplessness...
wow, learned helplessness huh.. I've been living with this irritant for years after failing one test, or losing one friend. I'm glad to know what it's called.
@matleyz except that's two words ;). and it's a name of a company which is capitalized, and in general, you don't use capitalized words in puzzles (and so in anagrams).
i have learned helplessness, and i don't know what to do, i'm already a 20 years old and my parents want to throw me out from their apartments because i can't work at any job and don't have any skills and just absolutely non-independent, i don't know how to live further and how to survive, this helplessness also affects on my ability to study and understand something, i just can't study anything and do not learn anything no matter how many hours i'm spends on practice and theory, my brain just don't work and only threw me into apathy and depression instantly, when i'm trying to study anything, my brain just can't stand any even little pressure on him, he just instantly crashing from overload. My country don't have adequate and good psychologists and psychiatrists, most people here hate me and bullying me, most people beating me and want to kill me, i've been beated 4 times for 2020 year, a lot of people gets killed by this inadequate people here and police supports them and society supports them, my parents same inadequate people as them, they wish me death too and few times tried to beat me, earlier my whole life they overprotected me, so my brain don't even know how it, to think by yourself and do by yourself something, i just don't understand what i want, i don't understand who i want to be and what i want to do, i don't enjoy anything and don't like anything, everything only make me suffer, i just don't understand how to live and how to save myself and survive and fix me.
Sweetheart, I hope you're still alive and I hope you're doing better. I hope you have found some good self-therapy and helped yourself, I know how hard it is. 😞
@@sorshamooncake of course i would be still alive, do i have a choice? it's existence with agony or nothing at all, none of this options is better in this case
The problem with this example is that on the 3rd word, there was about an equal amount of people on both sides of the room that put up their hand, approximately 7 on each side from what I could see. I think learned helplessness exists, but this was not a good example of it.
+One I saw that too. But I wonder more things: How did the people on different sides *feel*? How many would have solved it with a few more minutes? And how would it have went on to affect their day?
She explains it so friggin well. Wish I had professors like her. Professors in Germany don't really teach like this.
Thanks for uploading this video. I learn alot :)
Such an effective way of teaching a concept and cementing it good. As an indian, I love her as a teacher 👍
When someone's nose wiggles when they speak, you can't unsee it
This kinda thing is what school should be teaching us.
As a teacher in 2024, I can confidently say that I never, ever ask students to put their hand up if they got the answer right. It achieves nothing but humiliation from those who didn't and smugness from those who did.
All very true! Got to say though, my only issue being that learned helplessness applies to both sexes, I would say equally. I have met plenty of very confident women in work and school over the years.
wow!!! great test. they need to keep teaching doing this. I am the left side of the room from birth to now. wow.
The Stasi's Directive 'Perceptions'
To develop apathy (in the subject)...to achieve a situation in which his conflicts, whether of a social, personal, career, health or political kind are irresolvable…to give rise to fears in him.....to develop/create disappointments.....to restrict his talents or capabilities.....to reduce his capacity to act and.....to harness dissentions and contradictions around him for that purpose...
(Funder, "Stasiland")
Learned helplessness can also pertain to abuse and physical pain, where it is simpler to endure, rather than rock the boat or try anything new.
2:17 Am I crazy, or are there exactly 6 hands raised on each side for the last question (thus not really proving the learned helplessness idea)?
Where can I find more videos of yours
For me it doesn't looks like Learned helplessness. The right half of the class after solving second question would have already started solving the third. But the left side of the class was still occupied in solving the first 2. They just ignored the instructions to move to third question. The words should been introduced one by one to entire class. Now in the modern times, the same experiment can be repeated with digital gadgets and slido. We can then see if the same phenomenon is observed
@xXPinkGoddessXx But, anyway. I'm getting a little tired of this conversation. We've been talking for ages, and I'm forgetting where we started off. I'm happy to continue talking with you, if you'd like to continue, or you have more questions, and if I come up with some to ask you, but I think I'd rather not be debating, especially on a youtube video (where people get really grumpy). :D

Bat, Lemon, Cinerama and what was other group had ?
Great video. But could you change the cover image (the thumbnail) with a more representative and appealing one, like the teacher speaking? This is done easily in You Tube edit video settings mode. Thank you.
@xXPinkGoddessXx Actually, it's true. In many cultures, girls do have a cultural pressure to act how they're told, usually by an older male, such as her husband or father, and not how they want to act. Though, this isn't neccessarily true for many cultures. For example, in NZ, where I live, girls have just as much of a tendency to be rough, loud, or quiet as any guy. Both genders live the same way.
when they lie to you , you have to think about more bits of information,[ your own ideas plus theirs,] and it takes more time to see if they can be matched up or not. That's how we learn . Then you also have to deal with being sad and/or angry about people. The dog on the box is neither giving up, nor is he stupid. He has common sense.
@Huck1942 THANK YOU!!!! I agree 100%. The funny thing is, the first example that pops into the girls head is a boy who is refused by a girl. There's not much on earth that kills your will power more than that - and it's a male problem alone! Not to mention expectations on career and so on.
Nice lesson, thanks for uploading.
Simply Amazing
BUT in minute 2:21, I see 6 hands raised per side, for the third question! the idea is fine but it's not reflected here, let's be honest!
I don't doubt that failure can be demotivating, but I would have liked to have heard what the results were of the experiment she actually did in the classroom. Unless I missed it, the video never reveals how many of each side of the room succeeded in finding the anagram of "Cinerama." For all we know, there may have been no difference, or the results may have been the opposite of what the thesis states.
I wonder: Did she ever reveal the outcome to the students?
Yes, in fact, I saw some students on the left side who, despite the fact that the first questions were wrong, raised their hands in the third. While I saw others on the right side, who despite being in "confidence", did not raise their hands. Anyway, suspect.
Omg tell me why I couldn’t solve lemon 😅🤦♀️
nice example..
The 'cycles' that seem to never end, the same damn patterns repeating themselves over and over, but... Some just give in. It's easier to give up and give in sometimes, when we learn that we just CAN'T do it. It becomes implicit memory.
Maybe this is even why I'm not studying and stuff. But what's the cure?
Wow .. this is amazing
We Stan this teacher
It's still very meaningful nowadays
I saw "cinerama" and thought "camera" 😂 😂
Compare the Stasi's instruction,"Perception" to Seligman's "Learned Helplessness." You will find significant similarities between these two concepts. This is an evidence that psychological studies are abused in power crimes.

The Stasi's Directive 'Perceptions'
To develop apathy (in the subject)...to achieve a situation in which his conflicts, whether of a social, personal, career, health or political kind are irresolvable...
I've given up on basically everything and I've barely tried at anything.
Comparison is the killer of joy
Sour grapes is another form of it...we stop trying from the pain of losing...belittling the prize instead of continuing to try.
This is a great upload. My only qualm is that it is not only girls that have a tendency to close down when they experience failure or victimization
Her research field is in adolescent females and bullying so i think thats why she only mentioned females
I have this. I made so many bad decisions the first thing I feel before making any decision is sheer terror.
I'm perfectly aware of how destructive this is, the point is HOW THE FUCK DO I DEFEAT THAT.
Articulate to yourself as well as you can how you want to feel when you make a decision and practice imagining yourself deciding and feeling that way. If you simulate a better situation for yourself there are parts of your brain that can’t tell the difference between what you experience externally and what you imagine, and it is the equivalent of digging up earth to prepare and allow a stream (your thoughts) to follow a new path. TLDR; allow yourself to imagine the way you want things to be and it trains your brain to try for that. Brains are dumb and if you just tell them what you don’t want they don’t necessarily know what to do instead.
I'm blessed that ours is as good as her :) very creative
Good teaching
Loved it!!!!!
cinerama = america? OMG!
i would not have gotten that ! lol
Cinerama = American
Beautiful but what's the solution. How do we overcome this
