Answer:

Two different "states of mind" that affect behavior differently.

Explanation:

The <em>learned helplessness </em>affects our behavior that when we find ourselves in a sudden unexpected situation, we will react surprised, scared, or behave hopelessly. Without a solution how to deal with that situation. While this is the case in humans, animals in this situation will know exactly how to behave, because of their innate animal instinct.

On the other hand, <em>learned optimism</em> is a total opposite from learned helplessness. It helps us over time to respond positively to any situation that we find ourselves in. Made of joy,strong mental will. Learned optimism shows us how to turn negativity into positivism.
