Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When facing work-related stress, the most common response is the fight-or-flight response. This response involves either confronting the stressor or avoiding it altogether. In Adam's case, it is likely that he is experiencing a fight-or-flight response due to the negative impact on his health. The tend-and-befriend pattern is typically observed in women, where they seek social support in times of stress. Therefore, option D is not applicable. Option A, composed manner, and option C, stagnant manner, are less likely given the negative impact on Adam's health.
