PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Transactional Model of Stress and Coping, proposed by Lazarus and Folkman (1984), contended that a person’s capacity to cope and adjust to challenges and problems is a consequence of transactions (or interactions) that occur between a person and their environment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lazarus’s theory is called the appraisal theory of stress, or the transactional theory of stress. You can remember this because the way a person appraises the situation affects how they feel about it. According to this theory, there are two things that a person thinks when they are faced with a situation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The concept of cognitive appraisal was advanced in 1966 by psychologist Richard Lazarus in the book Psychological Stress and Coping Process. According to this theory, stress is perceived as the imbalance between the demands placed on the individual and the individual’s resources to cope (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984).
