P = One weakness of the physiological approach to stress is that it ignores individual differences
E = Mason (1975) found that hormone levels (adrenaline and noradrenaline) were different in individuals even though they had been exposed to the same stressors meaning that individuals may deal with stress in different ways.
J = This suggests that the physiological response to stress cannot be generalised.
2.
P = A second weakness of the physiological approach to stress is that it is reductionist.
E = A person's response depends on a number of different factors. These include the type of stressor involved and the way the person interprets the threat.
J = This suggests that the physiological approach to stress may be an oversimplification.
