- W2129804957 abstract "Background: The factors underlying the gradual decline in the participation in the elections and the devocalization of the political movements that are being observed during the last decades in Greece have not been previously studied through the looking glass of psychological processes, such as the phenomenon of Learned Helplessness first put forward by Maier and Seligman in 1976. The latter phenomenon postulates that when a belief that events are independent of behaviour and thus uncontrollable is established, it results in affective, motivational and cognitive deficits e.g. a tendency to be a passive learner who depends on others for decisions and guidance, unwilling to try and influence his/her environment. The objective of the present study is to explore the presence of the phenomenon of Learned Helplessness amongst Greek students as well as its possible correlation with their negative perception of the quality of democracy in Greece. Method: Questionnaires were administered to 220 Greek Students attending the Kappodistrian University and the Panteion University, both located in Athens. Results: The data revealed that 18 students (8.1%) were subject to the phenomenon of Learned Helplessness, 174 (79%) fulfilled one or more of the three criteria, while only 28 (12.7%) students did not fulfil any of the criteria. A correlation was found to exist between the presence of Learned Helplessness and the perception of the quality of democracy. (Pearson’s r = 0.300, a = 0.05). Conclusion: The present study was the first piece of research to explore the possible correlation between the subjective perception of the quality of democracy in Greece and the phenomenon of Learned Helplessness in Greek students. The findings were consistent with the notion that a negative perception of the quality of democracy would positively correlate with the presence of Learned Helplessness and thus its effects i.e. that the person becomes an apathetic receiver of the events that affect his/her life, unwilling to act in order to change the status quo. That correlation was rather weak due to the strict methodological manipulations employed and the small sample size.
