______ proposed a three-stage model to describe the physiological changes that occur during exposure to severe stressors.
(p. 450) Which of the following was Hans Selye's hypothesis about he effects of long-term stress? A. Stress causes a specific set of physiological changes depending exclusively on the type of elicitor. B. Prolonged exposure to stress produces physical reactions that differ from person to person. The development of dissociative identity disorder is understood to be a result of several factors: Recurrent episodes of severe physical, emotional or sexual abuse in childhood. Absence of safe and nurturing resources to overwhelming abuse or trauma. Ability to dissociate easily. Development of a coping style that helped during distress and the use of splitting as a survival skill. (p. 449) Which of the following is commonly known as the stress hormone? A. Calcitonin B.

The development of dissociative identity disorder is understood to be a result of several factors: 1  Recurrent episodes of severe physical, emotional or sexual abuse in childhood. 2  Absence of safe and nurturing resources to overwhelming abuse or trauma. 3  Ability to dissociate easily. Physiological stress represents a wide range of physical responses that occur as a direct effect of a stressor causing an upset in the homeostasis of the body. Upon immediate disruption of either psychological or physical equilibrium the body responds by stimulating the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems. View Full Document.

Epinephrine APA Outcome: 1.2 Develop a working knowledge of psychology’s content domains Accessibility: Keyboard Navigation Bloom's: Remember Difficulty: Basic Topic: Stress. Physiological or biological stress is an organism's response to a stressor such as an environmental condition. Stress is the body's method of reacting to a challenge. Stimuli that alter an organism's environment are responded to by multiple systems in the body. Chapter 9 STRESS 1. Stress occurs when a situation overwhelms a person’s perceived ability to meet the demands of that situation. 2. Stressors- events that push us to the limit or exceed our ability to manage the situation at hand. The focus on the situations that cause stress is known as the stimulus view of stress. Cortisol- the major glucocorticoid produced in humans, which is commonly known as the stress hormone 9. Hans Selye- proposed a three-stage model to describe the changes in physiology that occurs during exposure to severe stressors. Selye demonstrated that stress decreases adaptability of an organism and proposed to describe the adaptability as a special resource, adaptation energy. In recent works, it is considered as an internal coordinate on the dominant path in the model of adaptation.
