Roger works full-time, has a part-time second job, and has started a new consulting company in response to his son's special needs. He seems to be coping with everything quite well - at least for the moment. According to Hans Selye, Roger is in which stage of the general adaptation syndrome?

The answer is resistance.

Explanation:

General adaptation syndrome is the process that the body undergoes to attempt to return to homeostasis. Through the use of hormones, the body attempts to return to this state as soon as possible, but the system has limits. When we are exposed to chronic stress, problems and issues can result.

Hans Selye described three predictable stages the body uses to respond to stressors, called general adaptation syndrome (GAS). The first stage is the alarm stage, which provides a burst of energy. In the second stage, known as the resistance stage, the body attempts to resist or adapt to the stressor. The last stage is known as the exhaustion stage because energy is depleted.

Roger is in the second stage - resistance
