General Adaptation Syndrome

General adaptation syndrome, or GAS, is a term used to describe the body's short-term and long-term reactions to stress. Stage 1: alarm reaction (ar) The first stage of the general adaptation stage, the alarm reaction, is the immediate reaction to a stressor. In the initial phase of stress, humans exhibit a "fight or flight" response, which prepares the body for physical activity. However, this initial response can also decrease the effectiveness of the immune system, making persons more susceptible to illness during this phase. Stage 2: stage of resistance (sr) Stage 2 might also be named the stage of adaptation, instead of the stage of resistance. During this phase, if the stress continues, the body adapts to the stressors it is exposed to. Changes at many levels take place in order to reduce the effect of the stressor. For example, if the stressor is starvation (possibly due to anorexia), the person might experienced a reduced desire for physical activity to conserve energy, and the absorption of nutrients from food might be maximized. Stage 3: stage of exhaustion (se) At this stage, the stress has continued for some time. The body's resistance to the stress may gradually be reduced, or may collapse quickly. Generally, this means the immune system, and the body's ability to resist disease, may be almost totally eliminated. Patients who experience long-term stress may succumb to heart attacks or severe infection due to their reduced immunity. For example, a person with a stressful job may experience long-term stress that might lead to high blood pressure and an eventual heart attack.

What are some advantages and disadvantages of Maslow's hierarchy of needs?

One widely criticized disadvantage of the needs theory, however, is that in creating his hierarchy, Maslow studied only a narrow segment of the human population. The terms in the hierarchy, such as "self-esteem" and "security," have wildly different definitions in cultures around the globe. Therefore, it is hard for researchers to measure these needs or to generalize them across all human populations. Besides cultural differences, the hierarchy also fails to take into account individual differences. There is no evidence indicating every human being experiences the needs in the order Maslow specified. In fact, there is little empirical evidence that supports the theory at all.
