Question

Match the following : 

 

• A. 1-I, 2-II, 3-III, 4-IV
• B. 1-II, 2-III, 3-IV, 4-I
• C. 1-IV, 2-III, 3-I, 4-II
• D. 1-IV, 2-III, 3-II, 4-I

Hint:

GAS acronym: ARE (Alarm, Resistance, Exhaustion). Alarm = Start, Resistance = Coping, Exhaustion = Giving up resources.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve this matching problem, we need to understand the relationship between the items in Column 1 and Column 2 regarding the different stages and aspects of stress response: 

1. Item 1: "Continued exposure to the same stressor or additional stressors drains the body of its resources."
   • This describes the state of Exhaustion. After continued stress, the body's adaptive energy is depleted.
   • Correct Match: 1-II
2. Item 2: "The mental exhaustion appears in the form of irritability, anxiety, feeling of helplessness and hopelessness."
   • This is indicative of Burnout, a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress.
   • Correct Match: 2-III
3. Item 3: "The presence of noxious stimulus or stressor leads to activation of the adrenal-pituitary-cortex system."
   • This describes the initial reaction to stress known as the Alarm stage, where hormonal responses are triggered.
   • Correct Match: 3-IV
4. Item 4: "The parasympathetic nervous system calls for more cautious use of the body’s resources."
   • This reflects the Resistance phase, where the body attempts to return to normal functioning while still dealing with stress.
   • Correct Match: 4-I

The correct matching is therefore: 1-II, 2-III, 3-IV, 4-I.
