Select every statement that is TRUE about stress and coping.
Hints
- Two options overstate a coping style or misplace a GAS stage.
- Neither coping style is universally best, and depletion happens in EXHAUSTION, not Alarm.
Show the answer
- B. The transactional model treats stress as an interaction between person and event.
- D. The body pays a measurable price for staying mobilised, not only for the original threat.
- E. Secondary appraisal asks whether one has the resources to cope.
Why
The cortisol effects, the transactional view, and secondary appraisal are all true. Neither coping style is universally superior, and resource depletion occurs in Exhaustion (not Alarm) - so those two are false.
