Abstract

Two experiments were conducted to investigate (1) whether 'behavioral despair' was related to inescapability of the warm swim and (2) whether 'behavioral despair' would generalize to a shock escape task.

RESULTS indicated that rats exhibited 'behavioral despair' independent of the escapability of the warm swim and that the phenomenon did not generalize to a shock escape task. Implications for the validity of the behavioral despair model was discussed.
