En este trabajo se analizan los deficits motivacionales y cognitivos del learned helplessness en función de las expectativas de autoeficacia, expectativas de contingencia de respuesta-resultado, locus de control y sexo de los sujetos en una muestra de 274 adolescentes no depresivos. Los resultados indican que los déficits motivacionales solo se presentan en el grupo de baja expectativa de autoeficacia y alta expectativa de contingencia de respuesta-resultado. No se detectaron déficits cognitivos en ninguno de los grupos.Within the present papel the authors analyse the motivational and cognitive deficits of the model of learned heiplessness from the expectations of self-eficacy, expectations of response-outcome contingency, locus of control, and sex of the subjets; using a sample of 274 non depressed teenagers.
