Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stage of resistance is characterized by the body's attempt to adapt to the stressor and cope with the ongoing demands. It is during this stage that individuals may develop additional coping mechanisms and use additional resources to deal with the stressor. Roger's ability to cope with his multiple job responsibilities and starting a new company suggests that he is currently in this stage, rather than the alarm stage where initial reactions to stress occur or the exhaustion stage where stress has depleted the body's resources. Appraisal is not a stage in the general adaptation syndrome.
