Depression – Learning Theory  Depression is the result of a person’s interaction with their environment  Classical conditioning  Operant conditioning psychlotron.org.uk

Learning Theory & Depression  Learned association between certain stimuli & negative emotional states  Removal of positive reinforcement from the environment  Inadvertent reinforcement of depressed behaviour by others  Learned helplessness psychlotron.org.uk

Learned Helplessness  If a person learns that their behaviour makes no difference to their aversive environment, they may stop trying to escape from aversive stimuli even when escape is possible. psychlotron.org.uk

Learned Helplessness  Seligman (1974)  Dogs subjected to inescapable electric shocks later failed to escape from shocks even when it was possible to do so  Maier & Seligman (1976)  People subjected to inescapable noise, insoluble problems later gave up trying in similar situations, similar to Seligman’s dogs psychlotron.org.uk

Learned Helplessness  Learned helplessness does have similarities to depressed behaviour in humans  Findings are inconsistent  Unexplained gender differences  Some studies show inescapable situations facilitate later escape behaviour  Helplessness in humans depends a great deal on the cognitions people have about their situation psychlotron.org.uk
