Explain the difference in primary and secondary appraisal of stressors and give an example of each
What will be an ideal response?
Answer will include that during primary appraisal, one decides if a situation is relevant or irrelevant, positive or threatening. In essence, this step answers the question, "Am I okay or in trouble?" Then, one makes a secondary appraisal, in which he or she
assess available resources and chooses a way to meet the threat or challenge. Although examples will vary among students answering this question, one example might be that when a tornado or other weather warning comes across the television screen, one usually looks for whether the warning applies to his or her city or county (primary appraisal). If the warning does apply, then he or she has to make plans for how to protect oneself against the storm, that is, what he or she will do (secondary appraisal).
