{"Image DocumentName": "Psychological responses to stress", "Image ImageDescription": "In comparison to Selye\u2019s biological explanation as to how we respond to stress, the transactional model suggests that our stress responses are mediated by our appraisal of the stressor and also by the social and cultural resources at our disposal. Appraisal refers to the act of estimating or judging the nature or value of something or someone. Lazarus and Folkman suggest that when responding to stress: we initially engage in a primary appraisal, in which we decide if a situation is threatening or positive, or relevant or irrelevant to our situation. this then sets in motion a process of secondary appraisal in which we assess what resources are available to us in terms if coping with the situation.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
