My experience is it's the opposite and you need to overcome learned helplessness and understand that you can change your life.

Are there any good studies that could tell us which of us is correct?

Learned helplessness can also afflict adults, especially those who are not accustomed to dealing with computers. I get that quite a bit, and it's not just older people. Young people who have only used tablets, phones, and Chromebooks also are affected. YMMV
