General adaptation syndrome
Resistance reaction is the second stage of the general adaptation syndrome and is characterized by a heightened resistance to a stressor.
This is a diagram of general adaptation syndrome. It shows resistance to stress over time, with the alarm stage building up resistance until it reaches the resistance stage. Resistance continues to build up and peak in the resistance stage, until it declines into the exhaustion stage.
