Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the alarm reaction and resistance stages of emotional stress through measurement of the eosinophil count and cardiorespiratory symptoms in a group of college women subjected to a variety of competitive experiences. It was concluded that stress may be elicited by 1. anticipation of a stressor situation, 2. participation in a stressor situation, or 3. denial of expected participation in a stressor situation. In each instance, the stress elicited in individuals 1. varies from situation to situation, 2. is related to the psychological components in the stressor situation to a far greater degree than it is related to the components involving physical activity, and 3.. is related to identifiable differences in past experiences which are relevant to the situation.
