Detailed explanation-1: -According to Lazarus and Folkman (1984), “psychological stress is a particular relationship between the person and the environment that is appraised by the person as taxing or exceeding his or her resources and endangering his or her well-being” (Lazarus and Folkman, 1984, p. 19).
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1984, Lazarus and Folkman created the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping, which aims to help people cope with stressful situations by using objective appraisal.
Detailed explanation-3: -Lazarus identifies two categories of coping strategies: problem-focused, or attempting to change the situation itself, and emotion-focused, or attempting to manage how one feels about the situation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Because Lazarus views stress as an unfolding process of emotions, he suggests that our emotions in each stage should be different because we will have different cognitive appraisals in each stage. During each of the stages, participants reported the extent to which they felt 15 different positive and negative emotions.
