Özet

This study reports the generalization level of the interferance effect resulting from exposure to different tasks in the learned helplessness training phase. Sixty university students received different training conditions during Learned Helplessness training phase. These conditions were maze task (insoluble/soluble), object assembly task (insoluble) and;mixed task (insoluble/soluble three maze + three object assembly). Results showed that subjects having unsolvable maze task tend to have more behavioral deficit in the test phase (PM-C) than the other experimental groups. Cognitive factors such as causal explanatory style and expectancy of success were assessed at the end of the learned helplessness training phase. Results showed Mat there is no effect of the experimental manipulations on these cognitive factors.
