Primary Appraisal: Primary appraisal is the initial evaluation of a stressor, where an individual determines if it is irrelevant, benign-positive, or stressful.
Secondary Appraisal: Secondary appraisal involves assessing one's resources and ability to cope with a stressful situation after primary appraisal. It focuses on evaluating potential coping strategies.
Coping Strategies: Coping strategies are specific actions or behaviors used to manage or reduce the impact of stressors. They can be problem-focused (addressing the source) or emotion-focused (managing emotional response).
