In order to restore shaken or lost meaning, changes need to be made to either the situational meaning or the global meaning or both to bring them into alignment with each other. Discuss the process of meaning making
What will be an ideal response?
Meaning making includes the use of cognitive restructuring (reworking existing assumptions and beliefs and replacing them with new ones) to fit the specific situational event meaning into the wider global meaning framework (i.e., assimilation) or to change the wider global meaning framework to conform to the specific situational event meaning (i.e., accommodation). This process produces cognitive products known as meanings made. Failure to resolve these discrepancies leads to poor adjustment and ruminative attempts to come to terms with the event. Good adjustment occurs when the meaning making process leads to congruency between situational and global meaning that in turn leads to acceptance or resolution.
