When we encounter a situation that we perceive as stressful, it often triggers a secondary appraisal. This appraisal involves assessing our coping abilities and available resources to determine whether they are adequate to effectively address the potential harm, threat, or challenge posed by the event. These resources can take various forms, such as mental capacities, physical capabilities, personal strengths, or social support networks. By evaluating our coping resources, we gauge our preparedness and capacity to effectively deal with the demands of the stressful event.
