Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Primary appraisals are the initial evaluations people make about whether something is a threat, challenge, or opportunity. These appraisals involve judgments about the significance of a potential stressor, and whether it is positive, negative, or irrelevant. Coping strategies are the actions people take to manage stress, while secondary appraisals involve evaluations of one's ability to cope with a stressor. Tertiary appraisals involve evaluating the outcomes of coping efforts. Escape strategies involve avoiding or denying a stressor rather than actively coping with it.
