According to Lazarus's model, Leslie is now engaging in _____a. primary appraisalb. secondary appraisalc. emotion-focused copingd. social sharing

Answer 1

Secondary appraisal

Step-by-step explanation:

A secondary appraisal is a cognitive process that is happened when someone is looking out for how to cope up with the stressful situation. In this process, a person will find out how many options are there to cope up with the situation. In a stressful event, a person tries to find out the option and evaluate it. On the other hand, a threatening event allows for collecting information about the event.

Thus here in the above situation, Laslie is engaged in the secondary appraisal.
