How is it despair

 How is it hopeless?
Psychology, formed after repeated setbacks to give up behavior is called learned helplessness behavior, which repeatedly failed to lose faith in people, learn to help.
Mm psychological scientists Seligeman
desperate feeling you experienced? That is an extreme sense of helplessness, no matter how hard they try can not escape the feeling. despair is painful, because he could not change the current situation: despair is pessimistic, since he is no longer to try hard, he could only wait for fate.
despair how is it? a classic look at the following experiment.
experiment
In 1975, psychologist Sailigeman experiment with dogs, and vividly demonstrates the desperate state of mind the process of formation.
Seligeman the dogs were divided into two groups as experimental groups, one for the control group .
program one: first experimental group of dogs into a cage, the cage is a dog can not escape, and there is also an electric shock device. the dog an electric shock applied, the intensity of electric shock can cause the dog pain, but it will not hurt the dog's body. experimenters found that the dog was in the beginning was a shock, desperately struggling to escape from the cage, but after repeated efforts, it is found that can not escape, the level of struggle gradually reduced.
Procedure II: Then, put the dog into another cage, this cage consists of two parts, in the middle separated by partitions, partition height of a dog can easily skip past. clapboard on the side of an electric hit the other side does not shock. When the dog through the front into the cage experiments, the experimenters found that their addition in the first half a minute panic for a while, the after shocks have been accepted to lie down in pain, so easily to escape the environment, they try not to even try.
and put the dog in the control group, namely those without a program in front of the first experiment of a dog directly into the cage after, but found them all to escape the power the pain hit, and easily jump from one side of a shock the other side of security.

interpretation of results generated by this experiment phenomenon in psychology called . recovery, this study does not meet the ethical standards of psychology. However, if we observe the real-life children who experience failure long-term and chronic illness-ridden patients, helpless old people, will find they will appear Acquisition the characteristics of helplessness. In fact, when a person no matter how hard he tries that, whatever he do, have ended in failure, he will feel he can not control the whole situation, so he will be the spiritual pillar of the collapse of morale but also lost, all efforts will eventually give up and despair among state of mind.
results of this experiment in the psychology caused a considerable impact. because the learned helplessness arising from despair, depression, depressed, Many psychological and behavioral problems is the root cause. So, how should we prevent the production of learned helplessness it?
further research
Seligeman again designed two experiments on this issue studied.
1, let the dog in an They receive a shock, just gently jump to the pain can be from electrical shock. until the dog can easily learn to jump from one side of the cage when the other side, and then let it do a few exercises. and then introduced in the previous experimental procedures for processing them and found they are less vulnerable to learned helplessness in the situation.
2, switch to the growth in the natural environment that the dog experiment, the same with them, they learned helplessness is not easy to learn.

Lenovo and applications in real life, despair and pessimism, depression, all day drinking to forget, complaining, or even think of a dead person, Bibi are Yes. This study gives us a lesson is: let the people from despair to:
1, so that they have a successful experience.
2, moderately free, has a wealth of life experience, let him suffering from a variety of life, learned the skills and confidence to cope with the environment
