Answer 1

The question pertains to the two types of stress responses: positive stress is called eustress, and negative perceived threats are called distress. The correct answer is '1) eustress, distress.'

Step-by-step explanation:

Stress can elicit both positive and negative bodily responses and behaviors, with positive stress known as eustress and negative perceived threats known as distress. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is: 'Stress causes physiological and psychosocial behaviors, even though it may be positive stressors called eustress, or negative perceived threats called distress. 1) eustress, distress.' Eustress, coming from the Greek eu which means 'good,' refers to the beneficial aspects of stress, which can improve performance and overall well-being. In contrast, distress, derived from the Latin dis meaning 'bad,' refers to excessive and debilitating stress that can negatively affect health and performance.
