"The fight-or-flight response has been described for years as the typical way that people respond to stress. Research by Shelly Taylor, Ph.D. and her colleagues has complicated the picture. Taylor has coined the phrase "tend-and-befriend" to describe a very different pattern that her research group has found in women who are stressed. It seems that most of the earlier research on the fight-or-flight response was done using males. Taylor has found that females - even female animals from different species - respond differently to stress than males. Females under stress nurture themselves and their young ('tending') and form alliances with others ('befriending')."

This study and paragraph basically reads that women respond much differently to stress then males do.Alot of women, including myself, deal with stress in a way that most of the times is not the best way, but seems the easiest at the time.However, women tend to find a way to relieve stress easier then most males.
