This question asks students to describe the three stages of the general adaptation syndrome in a way that diagnoses Jake's perception of stress.To answer the question, students must identify the main features of each stage of the general adaptation syndrome:
Alarm reaction: The alarm reaction stage occurs when a threat or challenge activates the physiological stress responses that were just noted.The individual's energy level and coping effectiveness decrease in response to the initial shock.Resistance: The second stage, resistance, activates various biochemical, psychological, and behavioral mechanisms that give the individual more energy and activate coping mechanisms to overcome or remove the source of stress.To focus energy on the source of the stress, the body reduces resources to the immune system during this stage.Exhaustion: People have a limited resistance capacity, and if the source of stress persists, the individual will eventually move into the third stage, exhaustion.Most of us are able to remove the source of stress or remove ourselves from that source before becoming too exhausted.The students may look for these symptoms to determine the stage of the syndrome.

Emotional dissonance refers to the conflict experienced between the emotions we are required to display and our true emotions in that situation.
