Which kind of response is characterized by extreme cooperation or inappropriate reactions?

The response characterized by extreme cooperation or inappropriate reactions is an abnormal reaction to stress. This type of reaction occurs when individuals respond in unusual ways to stressors that exceed their normal coping mechanisms.

In stressful situations, healthy coping may manifest as rational behaviors or emotional responses appropriate to the context, but when someone exhibits extreme cooperation or inappropriate behavior, it indicates that their emotional and psychological responses are not functioning typically. This abnormality can range from an overactive desire to please others, often seen in individuals trying to manage their own anxiety, to showing emotional responses that are out of proportion to the situation.

The other types of responses are recognized as healthy or typical behaviors. Normal reactions are expected responses to stressors that align with a person’s usual emotional state. Adaptive responses indicate effective coping strategies that help individuals manage stress appropriately. Defensive responses often involve mechanisms like denial or rationalization, which serve to protect the individual but do not encompass the extreme cooperation or inappropriate behavior found in abnormal reactions.
