This study focuses on exploring the issue of “learned helplessness” among rural women in Gansu, China. Through interviews with women of different age groups, we aim to investigate their psychological journey from initially making efforts to their current state of accepting their circumstances or giving up. We approach this exploration from various angles, including their family dynamics, geographical environment, economic factors (employment opportunities), educational opportunities, societal ethics, and personal experiences.
