Answer:

inability of dogs to attempt to escape avoidable shocks after having received inescapable shocks

Explanation:

Seligman's learned helplessness states that if one experiences unfavorable situations for a long time, one feels helpless to deal with them. Seligman, after a series of laboratory animal studies, subjected to electric shocks from which they could not escape, concluded that they learned that their actions made no difference and were unable to react to escape abuse.  After some time, even having escape, the animals became passive because they learned that it was impossible to escape. This passive behavior has become a habit.
