The correct answer would be the following: the statement that indicates that learned helplessness is a psychological concept that applies only to animals, is a false statement. Initially, the concept of learned helplessness was originally described in dogs, as a phenomenon in which the subject that was put under repeat or constant stress, would develop a behavioral syndrome in which it would show reduced or non existent capacity to escape that stress when occurring again. Even though the concept was first illustrated with an animal, a dog, it applies to all subjects, animals and/or humans.
