Explanation:

Stress appraisal is defined as the process through which individuals assess and manage with a stressful event. People interpret differently about what is happening and how to cope up with that.

There are two types of appraisal:

1. Primary appraisal- this is an assessment of how important an event is for a person, embracing whether it is an opportunity or a threat.

2. Secondary appraisal- it considers a person's ability to manage or draw advantage of the situation.
