Anxiety, Coping, and Flow

Empirical studies in interactional perspective


Introduction

In Lazarus’ stress model, stress-related reactions are seen as the result of a cognitive appraisal process in which man and environment are involved in a continuous interaction (Lazarus & Launier, 1978). Experience of stress and concomitant coping attempts are brought about by a disequilibrium in the transaction balance. Step one in the cognitive-appraisal process is called primary appraisal: Events are classified as either positive, irrelevant or potentially harmful and thus stressful. Step two, secondary appraisal, refers to the decisions made by the individual concerning possible coping strategies once the event is in some way seen as stressful and demanding. In step three, reappraisal, the measures taken to deal with the stressor are evaluated. This serves to provide feedback to the organism so that a new overall appraisal of the event may be made.
