The General Adaptation Syndrome
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Selye described three stages of response to prolonged stress: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion.
Show
An initial surge of mobilization is followed by sustained elevated function and eventually by depleted capacity.
Watch for
Selye's model was drawn from animal studies of physical stressors and generalizes imperfectly to psychological ones.
