Sense of coherence (SOC) is a characteristic of personality that references one's perception of the world as comprehensible, meaningful, and manageable. Stress appraisal is the automatic, often unconscious assessment of a demand or stressor. Allostasis is an alternative term for the stress response. Homeostasis is the tendency of the body to seek and maintain a condition of balance or equilibrium.
