This paper compares Seligman's recent work on learned helplessness with N. R. F. Maier's work on frustration-instigated behavior published some 30 years ago. Some striking similarities are noted between the two approaches, and it is concluded that some of the differences are more apparent than real and that the learned helplessness model could provide an explanation for the "abnormal fixations" reported by Maier.
本文将塞利格曼最近关于习得性无助的研究与大约30年前N. R. F. 迈尔关于挫折引发行为的研究进行了比较。文中指出了这两种方法之间一些显著的相似之处，并得出结论：其中一些差异更多是表面而非实质的，且习得性无助模型可以为迈尔所报告的“异常执着”现象提供一种解释。
