The study involves the construction of a model of learned helplessness for this population; the generation and selection of items for the instrument, the Helplessness Self-Statement Inventory (HSSI); the collection of summary statistics and reliability data for the instrument; and the collection of data establishing its construct and criterion-related validity.
