Round 12: Tossup 15
This is the first word in the name of a theory proposed by Roger Ulrich to explain why patients with a window recover faster and to oppose the “attention restoration theory.” A task studying this concept involves counting back from 1,022 in increments of 13 and is named for the University of Trier. Specific forms of this concept underpin the “weathering hypothesis” proposed by Arlene Geronimus. This concept and (*) “diathesis” name a common psychopathology model. In one model, this concept proceeds through stages of alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. The “general adaptation syndrome” of this concept was proposed by Hans Selye. Cumulative effects of this concept on the body are called “allostatic load.” This concept’s “occupational” form leads to burnout. For 10 points, what concept is the “S” in “PTSD”? ■END■
ANSWER: stress [accept distress or eustress; accept allostatic load until mentioned; prompt on race, racism, prejudice, or discrimination by asking “which causes what psychological effect on those experiencing it”?] (Ulrich’s “stress reduction theory” proposes that experiencing nature has positive effects on mental health by means of, you guessed it, stress reduction).
