We study contributions from baryon resonance excitations to the [ital Q][sup 2] dependence of the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn sum rule. The results indicate that the sum rule at small [ital Q][sup 2] is largely saturated by contribution from the lower mass resonant states. We find a strong [ital Q][sup 2] dependence of the resonant contributions, leading even to a sign change of the sum rule integral at [ital Q][sup 2][similar to]0.8 GeV[sup 2]. The global [ital Q][sup 2] dependence indicates discrepencies to the interpretation of the EMC polarized structure function data on [ital A][sup [ital p]][sub 1] in the resonance region, which can be largely attributed to the elimination of the [ital P][sub 33](1232) resonance from the EMC analysis.
