But social scientists have uncovered a different and equally important stress response called " tend-and-befriend ," which focuses on caring for others and reaching out to strengthen social connections. This response was extremely helpful when threats were physical, but it is far less so when threats are cognitive or social. We all know about fight-or-flight — the stress response that can occur when we encounter a perceived threat, like a 15-minute calendar invite from your boss titled "Performance."
