Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The stress-inducing realization of an important test triggers the alarm stage of the general adaptation syndrome, which is the initial stage of the body's response to stress. In this stage, the body prepares to fight or flight by releasing stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol. The resistance stage follows, where the body tries to cope with the stressor. If stress persists, the body enters the exhaustion stage where the body's resources are depleted, and its ability to cope with stress is significantly reduced. Procrastination is not a stage of the general adaptation syndrome but a behavior where an individual delays or postpones tasks or actions.
