  Stressor
• TRUE OR FALSE Everyone respond to stressors the same way.

  False
• Refers to a state when stressors evoke an ineffective response.

  Distress
• Refers to the transmission of evaluative or corrective information on stress.

  Feedback
• It is information about the gap between the actual level and the reference level of a systemparameter which is used to alter the gap in some way.

  Feedback
• It refers to an unconscious psychological process.


  Defense Mechanism
• Mechanisms that mediate the individual’s reaction to emotional conflicts and to external stressors

  Defense Mechanism
• It refers to an an ongoing process by which individuals to adjust to stressors in order to achieve homeostasis.

  Adaptation
• Refers to the body’s self-regulation of physiological process.

  Homeostasis
• Refers to the state of rest and balance

  Equilibrium
• It comes from the word "good stress"""

  Eustress
• A stress that is defined as something that is healthy which brings about a sense of fulfillment.

  Positive stress
• Comes from the word "D-""which means negative"


  Distress
• A stress that is a a state of pain, suffering or extreme worry which brings about mental and physical suffering.

  Distress
• Two types of stressors

  1. Internal Stressor (Homeostasis) 2. External Stressor (Equilibrium)
• Stressor that speaks of what is inside of person


  Internal Stressor(Homeostasis)
• Stressor that involves our bodily fluids, our organs, anything that is whithin the person

  Internal Stressor (Homeostasis)
• Stressor that speaks about what is outside of a person

  External Stressor(Equilibirum)
• What is being talked about if there is a problem with our equilibrium?

  External Stressor(Equilibirum)
• Term that speaks of the environment of that individual

  Equilibrium
• If the environment is altered there will be certain circumstances that _____ and ____ will be jumbling resulting to a ______

  homeostasis, equilibrium, defense mechanism
• Who came up General Adaptation Syndrome

  Dr. Hans Selye
• Theory that refers to Stress as a mental pressure, but it also has a physical effect on the body.

  General Adaptation Syndrome
• In ______, stress means means that each stimulus could provoke a certain aspect of our physical body

  General Adaptation Syndrome
• Theory that refers to Stress as “Non-specific response of the body to any demand for change”

  General Adaptation Syndrome
• Physiological response that is the body’s way of adapting to a perceived threat to better equip it to survive

  General Adaptation Syndrome
• Three Stages of the General Adaptation Syndrome

  1. Alarm Reaction 2. Resistance 3. Exhaustion
• GAS Stage When a stimulus occurs, it signals to hypothalamus to release glucocorticoids (sugar) which release adrenaline and cortisol (focuses on the production of energy) which increases energy


  First Stage: Alarm Reaction
• What happens in First Stage: Alarm Reaction

  1. Increase heart rate 2. Increase blood pressure 3. Sympathetic Branch Fight or Flight Response
• GAS Stage Stage that will stimulate the parasympathetic branch wherein the parasympathetic branch will try to normalize through decreasing certain levels to attain homeostasis

  Second Stage: Resistance
