Answer: learned helplessness.
Explanation:
Learned helplessness is a theory developed by the psychologist Martin E.P. Seligman in the late 1960s and ’70s. It refers to a psychological state produced by being obliged to endure aversive stimuli, resulting in being incapable or reluctant to evade new confrontations, even if that same stimulus becomes avoidable. It´s presumed that the subject has determined that the situation is out of their control.
