Both Walter Cannon and Hans Selye theorized about a link between stress and physical disease. Describe the primary differences in their theories
Answer:
Selye saw exhaustion as the key to the link: after prolonged stress, the body can no longer respond appropriately and is subsequently damaged. Cannon saw chronic arousal as most important to the link: experiencing fight-or-flight arousal, without being able to fight or flee, causes prolonged arousal of the sympathetic nervous system, which in turn causes physical damage to the body.
