Transactional Model of Stress and Coping
A framework for evaluating processes of coping with stressful events.
Stressful experiences are construed as person-environment transactions, in which the impact of an external stressor is mediated by a person's appraisal of the stressor, and the psychological, social, and cultural resources at his or her disposal.
