Explanation:
Learned helplessness is a condition arising after an individual has repeatedly encountered a stressful situation. We come to believe Jody can't control or change the situation, so Jody don't try — even when there are options for alter.
When a person who has this experience finds they can't control things around them, they lose motivation. And if a chance occurs that allows the person to change his or her circumstances, they do not take action. Those who undergo learned helplessness are also less capable of making decisions.
