Psychology of fear and stress

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Think about a stressor that you recently faced, and name one physiological change that occurred as a result of this stressor activating the sympathetic nervous system (rather than the HPA axis). (1 sentence) 2. Regarding that personal stressor from question 2, describe what would need to happen (psychological/behaviorally) to activate the parasympathetic nervous system in this example. (1 to 2 sentences) 3. Regarding the previous two questions (questions 2 and 3) explain this in terms of allostasis so that it is clear that you know what allostasis is. The best answers earn the most points, so try to be clear and thorough. (2-5 sentences, this question is worth 2 points)
