According to Lazarus, the concept of stress involves both cognitions concerning the self and cognitions concerning potential harms. Stress is a result of an individual's appraisal of a situation and their perceived ability to cope with it. This includes their assessment of the potential harm or threat of the situation and their evaluation of their own resources and abilities to handle it. Therefore, both self-related and harm-related cognitions are involved in the concept of stress.
