Publisher's Synopsis

When experience with uncontrollable events gives rise to the expectation that events in the future will also elude control, disruption in motivation, emotion and learning may ensue. "Learned helplessness" refers to the problems that follow in the wake of uncontrollability. The present volume summarizes and integrates work on learned helplessness: theory, research and application.
