Greg stays up all night during finals week studying for exams. As the week progresses, his muscles tighten and he develops a stiff neck. By the last day of finals, he is taking more frequent breaks, leaning back in the desk chair, and staring off into space. He arrives for the last test with a sore throat and headache. Which of the following best describes Greg's response to stress?
a. general adaptation syndrome
b. object-relations theory
c. opponent-process theory
d. two-factor theory
e. type b behavior pattern

A. General Adaptation Syndrome

Explanation:

General Adaptation Syndrome as described by Hans Selye, is a phenomenon or reactional but physiological, process which is in three stages; alarm, resistance and exhaustion, that a body will experience when under stress.

Hence, in this case, Greg's response to stress is General Adaptation Syndrome,because as his muscle tightens and developed a stiff neck, that's ALARM stage.

However, by taking more frequent breaks, leaning back in the desk chair, and staring off into space, Greg's response to stress is in stage two, which is RESISTANCE stage; as the body shifts from alertness to repairs.

And lastly, byshowing signs of sore throat and headache, this is EXHAUSTION stage, as the body, has no more energy to cope with the stress, hence, the deterioration continues.
