1,350 words (approx. 5.4 pages) | 6 sources | 2005 United States


Paper Summary:

The paper describes how theories of learned helplessness suggest that the self-perception of personal status affects the actual physical status of the individual. The paper discusses how researchers propose that there is a correlation between self-perceptions and self-fulfilling prophecies, where the perception of one's mental, physical, and emotional status appears to be realized. This paper briefly reviews this theory in regards to the cardiovascular system.
