Answer to Question 1
He proposed an ABC model whereby A, an activating event such as receiving a poor exam grade, is interpreted through B, one's beliefs, leading to emotional and behavioral consequences, C.. If B is irrational, then a student who receives a poor exam grade is likely to have an exaggerated emotional response to A such as depression, shame, anger, or anxiety that is out of proportion to the event.

Answer to Question 2
Park (2005, p. 721) concluded from her cross-sectional study of 169 bereaved college students that religion was related to meaning-making coping, as reflected in positive reappraisal coping, and to adjustment in terms of subjective well-being and stress-related growth. Further, the association of religion with these adjustment outcomes was mediated by positive reappraisal coping.. In other words, religion seemed to produce its positive subjective well-being and stress-related growth effects primarily through engendering a type of meaning-making coping called positive reappraisal coping. Along with meaning-making coping, other traditional general types of coping such as seeking social support and emotion-focused coping may also overlap with religious-based coping methods.
