Awoman who was frequently but unpredictably beaten by her husband was finally taken to a shelter by the police. while there she did not take advantage of educational and job training opportunities. how would cognitive theorists explain her behavior?

Cognitive theory is an approach to psychology that attempts to explain human behavior by understanding the thought processes of people. According to this theory, this woman's behavior is characterized as learned helplessness. This kind of depression occurs when a person, based on a negative experience, realizes that any attempts to avoid negative situations produce no results and does not make a difference.
