Stress Response and Stress HormonesStress response encompasses the hormonal and metabolic changes that areactivated by real or perceived danger, injury or trauma (Desborough 2000).Human stress response is innately intended to enhance coping, adaptation andchancesof survival. Stress response is rooted in the capacity for rapidrecognition of potentially harmful stimuli and the ability to mobilize adefense/stress response. Mobilization of stress response is adaptive and resilientand normally terminates as soon as the danger has passed (Friedman 2015).
Stress Adaptation ResponseA vast array of potential stress responses exist. In any given circumstance onemay run like crazy, fight when cornered, stand perfectly still so as not to be seenor gather with others; commonly referred to as fight, flight or freeze andtend/befriend.The phrase fight or flight was coined by Cannon in the 1920s to describe thetypical behaviors that occur in the context of perceived threat. A freeze response,or tonic immobility, may occur in some threatening situations (Gallup 1977,Barlow 2002). Tend and befriend refers to coping with stress through social orgroup support (i.e. befriending) and providing or receiving protection, nurturingor emotional support (i.e. tending to others or being tended to). Social isolationsignificantly enhances risk of mortality, whereas securing social support resultsin beneficial health outcomes, including reduced risk of illness and death (Cohen& Willis 1985).Fight, flight or freeze are recognized as the initial stage of stress responseadaptation. Fight may manifest not only as a physical exchange but also asvocally aggressive or argumentative behavior. Flight can occur as escaping ineither a sensory way (e.g. social withdrawal, substance abuse or televisionviewing – Friedman & Silver 2007) or a physical way (e.g. running away fromsomething perceived as threatening or toward something that is needed or feelssafe).Freeze response may occur when fleeing or aggressive responses are perceivedto likely be ineffective (Barlow 2002). For example, tonic immobility may beuseful when attack is further provoked by movement or when immobility mayincrease the chance of escaping, such as when a predator believes its prey to bedead and releases it. Tonic immobility is hypothesized to be an inherentbiological response to extreme stress and shows some correlation with theexperience of extreme fear. High basal cortisol levels, which are related toheightened stress responses, are predictive of freeze responses in the presence ofthreat (Kalin et al. 1998; Schmidt et al. 2008).Schmidt and colleagues suggest that freeze response is more highly associatedwith certain cognitive symptoms of anxiety (e.g., confusion, unreality,

Stress Response and Stress Hormones

of survival. Stress response is rooted in the capacity for rapid
recognition of potentially harmful stimuli and the ability to mobilize a
