when
faced with a stressful event, the individual will appraise it cognitively. The
primary appraisal process serves to help the individual to evaluate whether
a situation is a threat to well-being. A person’s appraisal of an event is what
turns it into a stress encounter, rather than the event in itself. An event is perceived
as stressful when it touches the core of people’s values (Pargament,
1997). Since values differ from person to person, individuals’ responses to a particular event can differ quite substantially. Irrespective of the extent of
any loss, hurt or problem, the event will only be perceived as stressful if
it was appraised as inherently significant by the individual. During the secondary
appraisal process, which serves to establish what is at stake and what
can be done, individuals evaluate their own resources which they may bring
to bear on the coping process.
