Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Secondary appraisal involves evaluating one's coping abilities and resources to deal with an event, indicating that the event is perceived as potentially stressful. Since Brenda has only done a primary appraisal, which involves assessing the relevance and significance of an event, we can infer that the event is likely nonthreatening. Self-identity, physiological response, and emotional intensity are all factors that can trigger secondary appraisal.
