BBH Exam Prep Questions Solved 100% Correct
allostatic load - ✔✔cumulative long-term effects of body's physiological response to
stress; the cumulation of the ups and downs of maintaining homeostasis
allostasis - ✔✔maintaining stability through change; body experiences ups and downs
in effort to maintain homeostasis
glucocorticoid-receptor resistance model - ✔✔stressor exposure (overproduction of
cortisol) leads to reduced GR expression in the hippocampus which leads to lost feedback loop
regulation
alarm, resistant, exhaustion - ✔✔3 Stages of General Adaptation Syndrome:
Alarm - ✔✔3 Stages of General Adaptation Syndrome: mobilize resources;
physiological responses (glucocorticoids)
Resistance - ✔✔3 Stages of General Adaptation Syndrome: coping and resistance to
stressor; sustained release of corticosteroids
Exhaustion - ✔✔3 Stages of General Adaptation Syndrome: depleted resources;
resistance not possible; irreversible physiological damage
, neurogenesis - ✔✔the brain's production of neurons and the process by which cells
divide; disrupted by stress
Telomeres; aging - ✔✔The end caps of DNA, called ______________, are affected by chronic
stress which leads to premature _______________.
transactional model - ✔✔experience of stress depends as much on how an event
is appraised as it does on event itself:
-primary appraisal
-secondary appraisal
-cognitive reappraisal
primary appraisal - ✔✔stage of transactional model: determines the event's meaning;
interpreted as being irrelevant, benign positive or threatening; ask question "Am I in danger?"
secondary appraisal - ✔✔stage of transactional model: assess our coping abilities to
determine whether they will be adequate to meet the challenge or avoid the potential harm;
ask yourself "What can I do about it?"
cognitive reappraisal - ✔✔stage of transactional model: the constant update of
our perception of success or failure in meeting a challenge or threat
transactional model - ✔✔Implications:
-Situations or events are not inherently stressful or un‐stressful
-Cognitive appraisals are extremely susceptible to changes in mood, health, motivation
-Stress response is nearly the same, whether situation actually experienced or merely imagined
diathesis-stress model - ✔✔-susceptibility to stress and illness determined by two
interacting factors: predisposing and precipitating
