4. Strategies for Managing StressRegysicaland
emotional symptoms of stress that men and
women report, both groups say they manage
their stress in very different ways. In general,
though, both men and women tend to
choose sedentary activities like reading,
listening to music and watching television to
manage their stress over healthier behaviors
like seeing a mental health professional or
exercising.
5. Female Thing?
Move over “fight-or-flight”~ there’s a new
paradigm
Doesn’t replace “fight-or-flight” but adds
dimension to stress responses
Female stress response appears to be
biological, cultural & situational
Same immediate hormonal response but
followed by a physiological response that
inhibits flight
Male or Female Responses
Male~ Adrenaline hormones secreted
into the bloodstream~ mobilized to
attack or flee. (Fight or Flight)
Male~ civilized world, not easy to fight or
flee. May result in buildup of stress
responses resulting in high rates of male
cardiovascular disease.
Female~ Respond to stressful situations
by protecting self and others. (Tend)
6. Azar(2000) states that there is a huge gap in
the stress response literature
Majority of studies conducted with males
Upheld the “fight-or-flight” as main response
to stress
Male responses appear to be regulated by
testosterone
7. generalizations don’t always hold true, they
initiate thought or awareness.
Tend-and-befriend may be just as adaptive
for men as for women.
Socialization builds upon biology, but gender
differences can be either accentuated or
minimized.
