Resistance to stress is greatest during ________ of the General Adaptation Syndrome.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

We are asked about Resistance to stress being greatest during a specific phase of the General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS). 
Option 4: phase 1. Phase 1 is the alarm reaction stage, where the body detects a stressor and initiates physiological arousal. This is not the period of greatest resistance; it's the initial mobilization period, not the peak defensive state.
Option 1: phase 4. There is no phase 4 in the classical GAS model. The standard sequence ends with phase 3 exhaustion after prolonged stress.
Option 3: phase 3. Phase 3, or exhaustion, occurs after the resources have been depleted due to sustained stress. It is characterized by diminished resistance, not the greatest resistance.
Option 2: phase 2. Phase 2 is the resistance (or adaptation) phase, where the body attempts to cope with the stressor and maintain function despite ongoing adversity. During this phase, physiological systems are mobilized to resist the stress, representing the period of greatest resistance before potential depletion in the exhaustion phase.
In summary, the concept maps to alarm (phase 1) triggering a response, phase 2 building sustained resistance, and phase 3 culminating in exhaustion if the stress persists. The option that aligns with the peak adaptive effort is phase 2.
