Answered by Examlex AI CopilotOne common stressor is a sudden loud noise, such as a car backfiring or a fire alarm going off. When faced with this stressor, the body typically goes into a fight-or-flight reaction. This means that the sympathetic nervous system is activated, leading to an increase in heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate. The body also releases stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, which help to prepare the body to either fight the stressor or flee from it.
Three appropriate behavioral responses to this stressor could include:
1. Taking deep breaths and trying to remain calm in order to reduce the physiological response to the stressor.
2. Assessing the situation to determine if there is an actual threat and taking appropriate action if necessary, such as moving away from the source of the loud noise.
3. Engaging in relaxation techniques, such as meditation or progressive muscle relaxation, to help the body return to a state of calm.
Three inappropriate behavioral responses to this stressor could include:
1. Panicking and running aimlessly without assessing the situation, which could lead to further danger.
2. Ignoring the stressor and not taking any action, which could potentially put oneself in harm's way.
3. Engaging in aggressive behavior towards others, such as yelling or lashing out, as a way to release the built-up stress and tension.
