Learned Helplessness in puberphonia treatment
Puberphoniaia a learned helplessness is a behavior pattern involving a
maladaptive response characterized by avoidance of challenges, negative affect,
and the collapse of problem-solving strategies when obstacles arise. Three
components are are playing a role in puberphonia boys mind, namely contingency, cognition, and behavior.
Contingency
is is a creative idea that there is an
identifiable relation between their voice
and the environmental response, In our pubetphonia research, contingency is more often operationalized as its converse—
uncontrollability—so that when an puberphonia boy speaks, there is no identifiable relation with a specific response.
Cognitions are also necessary. These are thought of as the way one understands
and explains contingency or lack thereof. How he explain environmental contingencies leads us to the third component of learned helplessness—behavior. Thus,
learned helplessness exists in a situation in which there is no observable
contingency and in which he expects that
this uncontrollability will continue and behaves accordingly, such as by
quitting.
Origins
Of The Theory- The
Elephant Rope A Motivational Story
Elephants grow fast, of
course. Before long, those cute babies are lumbering giants. But here's the
thing: That same thin rope is all that's needed to keep them secured.
They think the rope can still hold them, so they never try
to break free. Moral of the story: No matter how much the ENT
Surgeons tries to bring achieve the high pitch voice puberphnia boys, always
continue with the belief that what you want, to achieve high pitch voice to low
pitch voice is not possible. Believing you can become successful is the most
important step in actually achieving it.
Our researchers applied the theory topuberphonia, it became clear that puberphonia responses are considerably more complex. Early results were
generally supportive of the theory while continuing to raise new questions.
“Why” when something happens and noted that their answers can
often lead to specific and predictable reactions to events. We now proposed, a puberphonia
person need only expect that an outcome is noncontingent for learned
helplessness to result. How the expectation of noncontingency is arrived at is
less important, whereas causal attributions of why the outcome is noncontingent
become more important in predicting the nature of subsequent deficits. These
adjustments in the theory proved more powerful in predicting behavior.
Processes
In Learned Helplessness
Uncontrollability
seems to be associated with increases in negative emotions such as anger,
anxiety, and depression, reduction in observable aggression, and increased
arousal. Self-esteem is particularly susceptible to learned helplessness.
Research findings imply that individuals who experience noncontingent outcomes
may become increasingly likely to display the helpless pattern. We
have demonstrated that failure to avoid the aversive
event was associated with subsequent failure at a cognitive task, and that
failure at a cognitive task was associated with failure to avoid the aversive
event, effectively establishing “cross-modal helplessness”—generalization from
one type of task to another. This was crucial to the advancement of the theory.
These
findings continue to support the idea of helplessness as a coherent set of deficits,
rather than simply a task-specific problem. Individuals who demonstrate
helpless patterns make statements suggesting that they believe themselves to be
personally responsible for failure, to attribute their failures to stable
circumstances, and to state that these characteristics encompass their whole
selves. In other words, they seem to believe that they have failed because they
are stupid, they are going to remain puberphonic, and everything they do is stupid—controllability,
cognitions, and behavior. This pattern is often referred to as “explanatory
style,” and much research has gone into supporting the idea that humans tend to
use a particular style to explain both good and bad events.
Human beings are quick to
adapt to new circumstances—a quality that has helped us survive and thrive. But
it also means that the positive things that initially make us happier soon
become our new normal. We feel that perhaps it is
adaptive for an individual to stop responding in the face of failure and that
failure to solve the problem, not uncontrollability, underlies the helplessness
phenomenon.
We
demonstrated that, whereas failure resulted in decreased mood, it was the
condition of uncontrollability that resulted in task performance deficits.
Their data support the idea that participants can distinguish uncontrollability
and failure and that passivity as a behavior is a deficit, rather than an
appropriate response.
Who
Does Learned Helplessness Affect?
Puberphonia exhibiting this pattern have difficulty acquiring and
demonstrating cognitive skills in the face of adversity. They demonstrate
dramatically poorer outcomes in a wide variety of domains, including social
relationships, sports, moral development, and academics. It is apparent that a
child’s orientation toward challenging tasks has a compelling impact on the
child’s future adjustment in a variety of areas.

is very little evidence at this point describing the antecedents of learned
helplessness. Application Of The Theory
We
have also learned through several different studies that learned helplessness
can be unlearned.
What is learned helplessness in puberphonia?
Learned helplessness in
puberphonia is a state that occurs after a person has experienced a stressful
situation repeatedly. They come to believe that they are unable to control or
change the situation, so they do not try — even when opportunities for change
become available.

.
They have “learned” that they
are helpless in that situation and no longer try to change it, even when change
is possible.
Once a person having this
experience discovers that they cannot control events around them, they lose
motivation. Even if an opportunity arises that allows the person to alter their
circumstances, they do not take action.
Individuals experiencing
learned helplessness are often less able to make decisions.

Why
does learned helplessness affect some people and not others?
A person’s experiences can
increase their risk of developing learned helplessness.
It typically begins after
experiencing repeated traumatic events, such as adulthood abuse.However, not
everyone who goes through these things will develop learned
helplessness.Explanatory styles also play a role in its development. An explanatory style is a
person’s way of explaining an event to themselves. People with a pessimistic
explanatory style — causing them to view negative events as being unavoidable
and resulting from their own shortcomings — are more likely to experience
learned helplessness. People with an optimistic explanatory style are less
likely to do so.
How to
overcome learned helplessness in
puberphonia
People with learned
helplessness can overcome it. The most common treatment is therapy,
especially cognitive
behavioral therapy (CBT).
CBT helps people overcome these types of challenges by changing how they think
and act.
