The fight-or-flight response is the dominant behavioral response to stress among males.

The fight-or-flight response is a common response to stress, but research suggests that females may be more likely to exhibit a tend-and-befriend response, which involves seeking social support and nurturing behaviors, as opposed to fight-or-flight. However, it's important to note that there is variability in how individuals respond to stress, and gender may not always be the primary predictor of response type.
