| | The fight or flight response changes the activity of internal organs to facilitate a high level of activity of the skeletal muscles. | | | The "fight or flight" response was appropriate for early man in his struggle to survive in a primitive world populated with wild beasts and other physical dangers. | | | As stated previously, the fight or flight response is the initial phase of the psychogenic stress response. |

| | The Fight or Flight Response |
| | The relaxation response corresponds to a physical portion of the brain (located in the hypothalamus) which—when triggered—sends out neurochemicals that almost precisely counteract the hypervigilant response of the fight or flight response. | | | The solution to overactivation of our fight or flight response is simple: when we take the time to exercise our relaxation response "muscle" we will enjoy the beneficial physiological, biochemical and mental effects. | | | The "fight or flight response" is our body's primitive, automatic, inborn response that prepares the body to "fight" or "flee" from perceived attack, harm or threat to our survival. |

| | A Unique Female Stress Response: Tend-and-Befriend |
| | The tend-and-befriend response does not imply that female-female aggression does not exist, but rather that it occurs through a different pathway than the male testosterone driven aggression mediated by the fight-or-flight response. | | | The human stress response coined, "fight or flight" by Walter Cannon in 1932 is a hormonal response characterized by the release of epinephrine and norepinephrine. | | | Conversely, the male fight-or-flight response is characterized by the release of vasopressin. |

| | Response to Stress |
| | The human body has an inborn, "pre-wired" response for dealing with dangerous situations - it is called the "fight or flight" response. | | | It is when the "fight/flight" response occurs too frequently or is greatly prolonged that we begin to experience the negative effects of stress. | | | Interestingly, when the parasympathetic division is active we experience something quite opposite from "fight/flight" --- parasympathetic activity results in a response of rest and relaxation. |

| | This response is the release of the hormone oxytocin, which enhances relaxation, reduces fearfulness and decreases the stress responses typical to the fight-or-flight response. | | | In terms of the fight response, while male aggression appears to be regulated by androgen hormones, such as testosterone, and linked to sympathetic reactivity and hostility, female aggression isn't. | | | Consistent with this idea, studies in rats suggest there may be a physiological response to stress that inhibits flight. |

| | Stress |
| | Acute stress is the reaction to an immediate threat, commonly known as the fight or flight response. | | | In primitive times, this combination of responses would have been essential for survival, when long-lasting memories of dangerous stimuli (ie, the large bear) would be critical for avoiding such threats in the future. | | | One survey revealed that men who had a more intense response to stressful situations, such as waiting in line or problems at work, were more likely to have strokes than those who did not report such distress. |

| | Almost all the stress response studies in the past have been conducted on males and so, therefore, upheld fight-or-flight as the main response to stress. | | | For decades, psychological research maintained that both men and women rely on fight or flight to cope with stress, meaning that when confronted with stress, individuals either react with aggressive behavior, such as verbal conflict and more drastic actions, or withdraw from the stressful situation. | | | Its findings are based on an analysis of hundreds of biological and behavioral studies of response to stress by thousands of humans and animal subjects. |
