Multiple Choice

Scenario II
Lazarus and Folkman (1984) proposed a three-step model of coping. People first make primary appraisals to determine if stimuli are stressful or not. If a stimulus is determined to be a stressor, people make secondary appraisals to determine if they can be successfully handled. The cognitive-behavioral strategies used to actually deal with stressors are termed coping styles. While coping styles can be classified in different ways, they usually involve either approaching (rational coping) or avoiding or repressing (repressive coping) the stressful stimulus. Rational coping has both problem-focused and emotional components and typically involves an acceptance of, exposure to, and understanding of the stressor. In addition to repressive and rational coping, a coping style based on reframing involves changing the way one thinks about a stressor to reduce its threat.
