Define General Adaptation Syndrome stages

Using the General Adaptation Syndrome knowledge point
Hans Selye's model describes three stages of physiological response to stress:

1. Alarm reaction: Immediate fight-or-flight response, mobilizing resources.
2. Resistance: The body adapts to the stressor, remaining on high alert and focusing energy to cope with or overcome the threat.
3. Exhaustion: Depletion of physical and emotional resources if stress continues.

Analyze the given scenarios

Using the General Adaptation Syndrome and Learned Helplessness knowledge points

• Patrice and Diamond show behavioral persistence/defiance, not physiological stress adaptation.
• Maria exhibits a passive response to uncontrollable stress, which aligns with Learned Helplessness.
• Tyrique experiences an immediate threat (falling), stabilizes himself (alarm reaction), and then actively channels his physiological energy and focus to safely navigate down (resistance stage).

Identify the correct option

Using the General Adaptation Syndrome knowledge point
Tyrique's focused effort to cope with the ongoing stressor of being stuck in the tree represents the resistance stage.
