Detailed explanation-1: -Lazarus and Folkman (1984) unpacked the concept of interpretation further in their model of stress appraisal, which includes primary, secondary, and reappraisal components (see Figure 16.5, “The Transactional Theory of Stress and Coping”). Primary appraisal involves determining whether the stressor poses a threat.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lazarus’s (1991) appraisal model of emotion specified multiple levels of appraisals: primary and secondary. Primary appraisals assess (consciously and/or unconsciously) whether situations are emotionally relevant (benign or stressful) or irrelevant.
