Accepted Answer

The last stage of stress is exhaustion, where the body's resources are depleted, and the person may experience burnout, illness, or collapse. This stage occurs after the body's initial physiological response to stress (fight or flight) and a period of resistance where the body tries to adapt to the stressor, but eventually becomes overwhelmed. Evaluation, clarity, and symbolic reaction are not recognized stages of stress.

Question 6

Outsourcing is a logical extension of David Ricardo's 1817 _____________.&#10;A)Theory of Pro-Active Stress&#10;B)Peter Principle&#10;C)Theory of Comparative Advantage&#10;D)Theory of Dometic Economics

Accepted Answer

David Ricardo's 1817 theory of Comparative Advantage states that countries should specialize in producing goods and services in which they have a lower opportunity cost and trade with other countries for goods and services that have a higher opportunity cost. Outsourcing is based on this idea of specialization and trade, where a company outsources tasks or services to a third-party vendor that can perform them more efficiently or effectively. Therefore, outsourcing can be seen as a logical extension of Ricardo's theory of Comparative Advantage. The other choices (A, B, and D) are not related to Ricardo's theory or outsourcing.

________ describes hardy people who bounce back,have a sense of control over their lives and do not fear change.&#10;A)Cognition&#10;B)Emotive ability&#10;C)Psychological hardiness&#10;D)Reactivity

Psychological hardiness refers to the ability to cope with stress and difficult situations in a positive and productive way. This includes having a sense of control over one's life, being able to adapt to change, and having a resilient attitude towards challenges. This concept is different from cognition, which refers to mental processes such as perception, thinking, and memory, and emotive ability, which refers to a person's ability to express and regulate emotions. Reactivity refers to the speed and intensity of a person's response to a stimulus.

Accepted Answer

The most enthusiastic travelers for work are typically younger employees, often those under the age of 45, as they may view travel opportunities as a perk or a way to gain experience. The statement that those between the ages of 45-54 are the most enthusiastic is generally false, as enthusiasm for work travel can decrease with age due to various factors such as family responsibilities or health issues.

Question 10

In 1932,Walter Cannon of the Harvard Medical School coined the phrase ________________ to refer to the alerted condition of the body as it prepares for physical battle or escape.&#10;A)Terror or fright&#10;B)Push or pull&#10;C)Punch or race&#10;D)Flight or fight syndrome

Accepted Answer

Walter Cannon coined the phrase "flight or fight syndrome" in 1932 to refer to the physiological response of the body to a perceived threat or danger, as it prepares to either fight the threat or flee from it. This response involves the release of stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, which increase heart rate and blood pressure, and cause the body to release glucose and fats for energy. This response is an evolutionary adaptation that helped our ancestors survive in dangerous situations, and is still present in modern humans.
