The stress response: a new perspective.

S R Burchfield

    Psychosomatic Medicine
    |December 1, 1979

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Organisms adapt to chronic intermittent stress through a learned physiological pattern, conserving resources for homeostasis. Maladaptation occurs when situational expectancies and responses are not learned.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Behavioral Science
    • Stress Response Research

    Background:

    • Chronic intermittent stress is common and can lead to physiological changes predisposing organisms to tissue damage.
    • Understanding the adaptive mechanisms to stress is crucial for explaining health and disease.
    • Existing research highlights diverse studies on stress response, necessitating an integrated theoretical framework.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present an integrated theory of the response to chronic intermittent stress.
    • To elucidate the physiological patterns of adaptation across species.
    • To explore the mechanisms of maladaptation and its implications.

    Main Methods:

    • Theoretical integration of diverse studies on stress response.
    • Postulation of a genetically predisposed adaptive pattern.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of conditioned endocrine responses and arousal changes during stress.

    • Main Results:

    • Organisms exhibit a genetically predisposed pattern to adapt to stress, consistent across species.
    • Adaptation involves a conditioned endocrine response preceding stress and reduced arousal during stress.
    • This adaptive pattern conserves resources and promotes homeostasis.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented theory integrates diverse findings on chronic intermittent stress response.
    • Maladaptation arises from failures in learning situational cues and appropriate responses.
    • This theoretical perspective has significant implications for understanding stress-related disorders.
