Explanation:

Secondary Appraisal

Secondary appraisal is the cognitive process that occurs when one is figuring out how to cope with a stressful event. People are constantly weighing coping options to deal with stress in the context of his or her personal goals or resources or environmental constraints. This process leads a person to decide what coping options are available. A harmful event will require immediate evaluation of coping options because it has already occurred, whereas threatening or challenging events may allow more time to gather more information about events. Prior experience or being exposed to similar situations previously provides a reference point to sort out the options available for dealing with the situation.
