Answer to Question 2

The stress and coping paradigm is a framework that views stress not as an environmental stimulus or as a response, but as the interaction of a thinking person and an event. Coping and appraisals affect how a person perceives and responds to stress. Coping is an attempt to deal with stressful events and is seen as a dynamic, evolving process that is fine-tuned over time. In general, there are two types of coping: problem-focused coping (attempting to tackle a problem head-on) and emotion-focused coping (dealing with one's feelings about a stressful event). Appraisal affects how we view stressors and stress. There are three types of appraisals of stress: Primary appraisal (categorizing events as irrelevant, positive, or stressful), secondary appraisal (evaluating perceived ability to cope with the stresss), and reappraisal (making a new primary or secondary appraisal resulting from changes in the situation).
