问题     There are many differences in the ways women and men deal with stress. There are a number of factors that play into this. Traditionally, women, more than men, take on the role of primary family caregivers. This means that all of a family’s health concerns fall on the shoulders of the women, along with the stress that brings. A woman will tend to put everyone at ease before herself and eventually sacrifice her own health and well-being. She doesn’t care if she is suffering from a cold at work. Once her child is sick, she will drop everything else to take care of him.
    If you ask men and women to describe their reactions to stress, their answers will be completely different. Men usually characterize their stress reactions as feelings of rage or sleeplessness. Women usually say that their reaction to stress is wanting to cry. A majority of women also say that they are prone(易于发生的)to overeating when under stress.
    Most studies on stress have only been on men and how men respond. These studies are where we get the familiar "fight or flight" notions(观念). For decades this was how scientists assumed all humans behaved. Only recently have scientists begun performing stress tests on groups of women and the results are not at all what our male counterparts would have indicated. In most cases, women did not react to stress by wanting to "fight or flight". Instead, their instincts(直觉)were to nurture.
    This new model for how females deal with stress has been described as the "tend and befriend" paradigm by its discoverer, Dr. Shelley Taylor. A woman’s instincts are naturally to Drotect or tend to their children and themselves. Then women seek out other women that could help them through. Pursuing comfort through a connection is the befriend aspect.
    Women are thought to have the same rush of hormones(荷尔蒙)as men when under stress, but the types of hormones differ.
