Solution
Secondary cognitive appraisal, as proposed by Lazarus, is the assessment of one’s coping abilities and resources that whether they are sufficient to meet the harm, threat or challenge of the event. When harm and threat are high and coping abilities are low, substantial stress is felt. When a coping ability is high, stress may be minimal.
