GNTJLYS:

Cortisol vs Adrenaline vs Epinephrine vs Norepinephrine

GNTJLYS:

just explain physiological differences, I don't need the biochemistry or anatomical difference. ty

Shadow:

Studying for the AP exam?

GNTJLYS:

Yes

Shadow:

It sounds like you're studying Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome, also know as GAS. It's elements constitution Alarm, Resistance, and Exhaustion (ARE). An easy way to remember this is Selye's GAS ARE.

GNTJLYS:

No I got that well, I just wanted to be sure I had the confusing hormones and neurotransmitters right, but thank you

Shadow:

What in particular do you need clarification on?

GNTJLYS:

I actually understand those neurotransmitters and hormones now, another question: is dispositional attribution and functional attribution error pretty much the same thing? thank you

GNTJLYS:

I'm just making sure I have everything correct, so that is my last question. Thank you for your help, I greatly appreciate it

Shadow:

No problem, give me a moment.

GNTJLYS:

Sure, take your time

Shadow:

Yeah I studied all of this a long time ago. Is your terminology correct? I only seem to find information related to fundamental attribution error, as opposed to 'functional.'

GNTJLYS:

My apologies, yes I meant fundamental*

Shadow:

So it's a simple equation: Influencing Factor -> Behavior Both of these concepts seem to be the tendency to neglect the situational or external factors and their influence on the person's behavior. The error is attributing it to purely internal or personal factors. Thus, the same as you had an inkling of.

GNTJLYS:

Oh okay I understand. Thank you for your detailed and quick response. I appreciate your guidance.

Shadow:

No problem. When is the exam if I might ask?

Shadow:

Haha, studying the night before?

GNTJLYS:

Just looking through a few terms, so yes

Shadow:

I am only joking, I was studying up to the minute before. It's a fun exam but takes no leisure on its takers.

GNTJLYS:

Yep haha. I have to go now, but once again thank you very much for your help. Have a good night.

Shadow:

You too.
