Learned Helplessness Test (LHT)

Dr. Sajad Hussain and Prof. ( Dr) Payal Kanwar Chandel

The Learned Helplessness Test (LHT), by Dr. Sajad Hussain and Prof. Payal Kanwar Chandel, gauges how prone an adult is to feeling helpless under stress, with its motivational, behavioural and emotional effects. It also helps show vulnerability to later psychological disorder, particularly among groups such as the deprived, the elderly and people with alcohol problems. Its 9 items are answered on a rating scale and take only 5 to 7 minutes, and the kit contains a manual and 100 consumable booklets.
