Answer 1

The correct answers are physiological;psychological.

Answer 1: Selye's general adaptation syndrome describes physiological responses to stress. 

Seyle's general adaptation syndrome (GAS) model of stress is a theory that describes the physiological responses that occur as a result of stress. According to the GAS model, stress occurs in three stages known as the alarm, resistance and exhaustion stages. All these stages involve physiological responses in the body that are generally negative and harmful for health. 

Answer 2: The primary and secondary appraisal model describes psychological responses to stress.

The psychologists Lazarus & Folkman developed a theory of stress known as the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping. This model of stress focuses on the psychological, cognitive and emotional aspects of how we experience stress and cope with it.  Mainly, this model states that through the processes of primary and secondary appraisal, we experience stress and react to it or cope with it.
