Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tend-and-befriend response is a stress response that involves seeking and providing support from others, particularly during times of stress. This response is theorized to be more common among women, who may have evolved to prioritize social connections and support. The fight-or-flight response and Type A personality are not directly related to seeking support from others, while the relaxation response involves specific techniques to induce relaxation and is not necessarily focused on social support.
