According to Roy, there are three types of stimuli: focal (what is confronting the patient in the immediate time), contextual (all other stimuli in the environment), and residual (beliefs, attitudes, or traits that have an indeterminate effect on the present situation).Adaptive and transient stimuli are not part of Roy's theory.
