Answer: learned helplessness

Explanation:

Research done by psychologist indicate that when people feel out of control or that they can not control what is happening in their lives they have a tendency of giving up and accepting that it is their fate that these things are happening to them.

What Is Learned Helplessness?

Learned helplessness is a result of a subject being constant exposed to an aversive stimulus in which they are not able to escape. Over time the subject will accept this stimulus and adopt a helpless approach towards it in such that when presented with a chance to escape they will feel helpless to accept those opportunities.

The woman who has been exposed to an abusive relationship feel helpless that she can't not escape her fate in such that she can't even take a chance that may bring her relief.

Neko [114]

While they were shopping, 6-year-old Elliot came running around one of the store aisles and excitedly asked his mother if she would buy him a $299 Microsoft Xbox 360 game console to use with their television at home. When his mother immediately refused, Elliot looked very dejected but apologized for asking. A few moments later, Elliot asked, "Well, can I get a new basket for my bicycle?" Clever Elliot appears to be using the <u>door-in-the-face</u> technique to persuade his mother.

Explanation:

The door-in-the-face technique is commonly studied in social psychology as a compliance method. The persuader tries to covince the respondent to agree by making a large request that the respondent will reject as it were metaphorically slamming the door in the persuader's face.
