Question

Roger has a good amount on his plate. He works full-time, has a part-time job, and has a new consulting company in response to his son's special needs. He seems to be coping with everything quite well, for the moment anyway. According to Hans Selye, he is in which stage of the general adaptation syndrome?

Answer 1

Phase 2, in a state of resistance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hans Selye described three predictable stages the body uses to respond to stressors, called general adaptation syndrome (GAS).

The first stage is the alarm stage, which provides a burst of energy.

In the second stage, the resistance stage, the body attempts to resist or adapt to the stressor. In this case, Roger is adapting well to the stressor, coping with everything quite well, for the moment.

The last stage is known as the exhaustion stage because energy is depleted.
