According to Seligman, is Angela’s concern that Malik will wreck Kiara’s optimism a valid concern?

What will be an ideal response?


Yes, Angela’s concern that Malik’s pessimism will negatively affect Kiara’s optimism is a valid concern. According to Seligman learned helplessness (and therefore a pessimistic style as well as learned optimism and an optimistic style) can be learned through the observation of them in models. Malik’s attitude can therefore be learned by Kiara.
