Question

Robin has been called on by her instructor to give a speech. if robin perceives giving a speech as stressful, it is most likely that her body will immediately experience which phase of the general adaptation syndrome

Answer 1

The answer is "Alarm reaction".

Alarm response refers to the early stage of general adaptation syndrome; when someone’s body reacts to a jolt or motivation which it considers stressful, like in the above case Robin’s call for a speech. It will increase the Hormonal activities inside Robin’s body releasing cortisol as stress hormone and Robin will get a boost of adrenaline. This is no controlled response rather it is automatically triggered in situations.
