Experience with unavoidable negative stimuli can lead to a particular deficit in avoidance learning called in which an organism, exposed to uncontrollable aversive stimuli, learns that it has no control over negative outcomes.

Learned helplessness

Explanation:

If one experiences unfavorable situations for a long time, one feels helpless to deal with them. Past experience shows that there is no way to change the situation. Scientists, after a series of laboratory animal studies, subjected to electric shocks from which they could not escape, concluded that they learned that their actions made no difference and were unable to react to escape abuse. After some time, even having escape, the animals became passive because they learned that it was impossible to escape. This passive behavior has become a habit and is known as learned helplessness.

In other words, learned helplessness occurs in a situation in which an organism exposed to uncontrollable aversive stimuli learns that it has no control over negative outcomes.
