The duration of the effects of a common learned helplessness induction procedure, exposure to insoluble concept-formation problems, was assessed by varying the interval between the induction procedure and subsequent exposure to soluble anagrams. Participants tested immediately or 30 min after the induction procedure exhibited reliable helplessness deficits on all dependent measures. These effects, relative to the performance of a nonhelpless control group, were absent in subjects who experienced delays of 2 or 6 hr before anagram testing. The implications of these results for the development of more enduring helplessness effects and for the conducting of research into analogue intervention are discussed.
通过改变习得性无助诱导程序（即接触无法解决的概念形成问题）与随后接触可解决的变位词之间的时间间隔，对一种常见的习得性无助诱导程序的效果持续时间进行了评估。在诱导程序后立即或30分钟进行测试的参与者在所有相关测量中均表现出可靠的无助缺陷。相对于非无助对照组的表现，在变位词测试前经历2小时或6小时延迟的受试者中没有出现这些效应。讨论了这些结果对于产生更持久的无助效应以及进行类似干预研究的意义。
