I'm confused about the drawing of the GAS graph. I highly doubt they'll ask us to draw it, but just in case, which is the correct one? The top or the bottom?
I keep getting confused.
-
I would say the first one - It includes shock and counter shock (first two lines), then resistance, then exhaustion but I would put the level of resistance of exhaustion more under the main line
-
You should look in your text book.. I'm pretty sure they have a picture
-
I just checked my textbook, and surprisingly, it's the second one haha

Really? Thats surprising, I thought countershock was activated when the level of resistance was still below the base line? Now im confused wahhh ... Care to explain how?
-
2nd one!
In Counter shock you start to deal with the stress, so resistance to stress is above the normal level of stress
-
I was so sure it was the top! I feel like the picture in the book must have changed when I wasn't looking, because sure enough, it's the second one. doesn't make much sense, because doesn't ability to cope drop in shock, then start to rise in counter shock, and you have entered resistance when it is above normal ability?
I'm so glad you posted this, because otherwise I would have done this wrong!
PS. Nice Tasmanian Devil on your wall :P

Same :/ but apparently it's activated when the level of resistance hits normal and starts to rise above. The ability to cope also begins to drop before the exhaustion stage. My book doesn't explain how haha but that's what the diagram is

Just checked my textbooks, the Grivas and Oxford have the second graph and the A+ Psych Notes have the top graph. :-\

Macmillan has the second too. Majority rules?

Haha! Did some online research that suggests the top graph.. hopefully it wont be on the exam? :)

[EDIT] Just read tictacs comment, that actually makes sense! And also realised that this ^ graph supports graph 2. So graph 2 it is?!

This is ridiculous XD why can't everything just say the same this hahahaha. I will be crossing my fingers that it isn't on the exam. I reckon if it is though I'll stick with the second option, coz that was what was in my book...
-
I reckon it would only be a multiple choice if it was on the exam, and we will all get our teachers to complain to the VCAA so the will award the mark to both answers.
-
Second graph it is! Haha, thanks guys! (:
