According to Taylor, the fight-or-flight response is not the only important response to stress. What are other important responses, and why were they neglected for so long?

What will be an ideal response?


According to Taylor, other responses were neglected because research focused on men for whom the fight-or-flight response is quite strong. Taylor argues that the "tend-and-befriend" response is stronger in women. This response involves tending to offspring and forging social bonds with others.
