Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question presents a scenario where you must determine if a new situation is benign, stressful, or irrelevant, which aligns with Lazarus and Folkman's appraisal theory of stress.
Option 1: 'Secondary stressor' — This term is not a standard label in the appraisal framework. It seems to be a distractor that attempts to imply a later stage of processing, but it does not correspond to the official categorization of the initial evaluation.
Option 2: 'Primary appraisal' — This is the core concept describing the initial assessment of a situation to decide whether it is benign, stressful, or irrelevant. It answers the question directly by identifying the type of appraisal being described.
Option 3: 'Secondary appraisal' — This refers to the subsequent evaluation of coping resources and options after the initial appraisal, not the initial judgment about the threat or relevance of the event. Therefore it does not fit the scenario.
Option 4: 'Loss' — While loss can be a context or outcome in stressful circumstances, it is not a label for the appraisal process itself and does not capture the initial evaluation step described in the question.
In summary, the situation described in the question matches the concept of an initial evaluation of meaning (benign, stressful, or irrelevant), which is precisely primary appraisal. The other options misalign with this stage or refer to different concepts entirely.
