Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The b-process is characterized by its role in counteracting the effects of the a-process in the dual-process theory of addiction, stress, and emotion regulation. It does not synchronize over time with the emotional stimulus; instead, it acts as a compensatory mechanism that follows the initial reaction (a-process) to restore balance, hence it is not stable in the way described by option D.
