Such dispositional aspects include personality and physical health. An event that is perceived as life threatening is processed immediately in a manner akin to stimulus–response processing. Events that are not perceived as life threatening result in a degree of cognitive dissonance or discomfort and undergo a degree of cognitive interpretation before the development of stress. The initial stress response depends on the coping resources available to the individual; in turn, the presence of coping resources influences health outcome.
