Question 10

Explain the female tend-and-befriend response to stressful events.

Accepted Answer

The female tend-and-befriend response to stressful events is a theory proposed by psychologists Shelley Taylor and her colleagues. This theory suggests that when faced with a stressful situation, women are more likely to respond by seeking social support and nurturing others, rather than the fight-or-flight response commonly associated with stress.

The tend-and-befriend response is thought to be rooted in evolutionary biology, as women historically needed to protect and care for their offspring, as well as seek support from social groups in order to ensure survival. This response is characterized by a tendency to "tend" to the needs of others, such as children or family members, and to "befriend" by seeking out social connections and support from friends and community.

Research has shown that women are more likely to engage in nurturing behaviors and seek out social support when faced with stress, and that this response can have positive effects on their overall well-being. By seeking social support and nurturing others, women may be better able to cope with stress and maintain their mental and emotional health.

Overall, the tend-and-befriend response highlights the importance of social connections and support for women in times of stress, and suggests that nurturing and seeking out social connections can be an effective way for women to cope with challenging situations.
