Learned helplessness is what happens when repeated uncontrollability trains an organism — or a person — to stop trying even after control returns. Seligman’s classic framing (and the later reformulation) centres explanatory style: the 3 Ps — Personal, Permanent, Pervasive — as the cognitive shape of giving up.
