RESEARCHEXPERIENCE:
Fall 2004-Doctoral Dissertation ChicagoSchool of Professional Psychology
Spring 2006*Title: Rebounding from Learned Helplessness: A Measure of Academic
Resilience using Anagrams
*Empirical study investigatedperformance using unsolvable anagrams
to induce a state of learned helplessness, or the perpetuation of failure, as wellas the use of solvable anagrams to facilitate resilience. Analysis of the data in conjunction with self-reports using a Likert-type scale from a sample of 63 first-year graduate students supported the potential for utilizing anagrams to predict resilient tendencies. Results also supported the application of success exposure as a cognitive-behavioral treatment modality for helplessness. Data evaluated attribution ascriptions as mediators and compared to previous theories of learned helplessness and attribution for inferences in treatment.
