Learned helplessness experiment

 Psychologists put a mouse in a special box, the box separated by a partition into two parts. When the mice are familiar with the environment, the psychologist will give a tone as a signal, after the bell , mice in which the bottom side will be energized. mice by painful electric shocks, they will instinctively flee happened to jump across the partition to the other side of the box jump safe. several times down the mice learned to bell to quickly jump to the other side to avoid electric shock. But then the researchers increased the height of partitions, so that all mice in any case to jump over. In several attempts failed, the bell rang again , mice also jumping? of course, is not dancing, because dance is also a white jump. experiment does not end here, the researchers later reduced the height of partitions, or even skipped over the first partition mice is lower , but the bell rung, mouse still does not jump, because it has it? careful analysis of this small experiment will be seen that mice repeatedly failed to skip the partitions, which produced its own ability to doubt the loss of confidence in their actions, as necessary efforts or to the face of failure, such as the province of the effort that is not on the fate of a shock unchecked. Mouse is so, then our students? there is no such In our teaching is also no shortage of students. In other words, people and animals are likely to experience repeated failures, the formation of helplessness, unable to psychology, this is the psychology of
