According to Richard Lazarus's theory of stress appraisal, reappraisal is the stage of looking back at a choice to see how
things have turned out. During the reappraisal stage, the person learns from the decision. Lazarus was a pioneer in the
area of emotion, and his theory is often referred to as the Lazarus theory of emotion. According to appraisal theories of
emotion, thinking must occur first before experiencing emotion. Lazarus and Folkman identified appraisal as central to
the stress process. Their Transactional Model of Stress and Coping states that an event will likely fall into one of three
main categories:
Irrelevant: It will have no impact on your well-being.
Benign-Positive: It will have a positive impact on your well-being.
Stressful: It will likely involve harm or loss and may challenge or threaten you.

Psychological assessment is a process that involves checking the integration of information from multiple sources, such

information from personal interviews. Collateral information is also collected about personal, occupational, or medical
history, such as from records or from interviews with parents, spouses, teachers, or previous therapists or physicians. A
psychological assessment can include numerous components such as norm-referenced psychological tests, informal
tests and surveys, interview information, school or medical records, medical evaluation, and observational data. A
psychologist determines what information to use based on the specific questions being asked. Some attributes which are
categorised on the basis of varieties of tests used in psychological literature are intelligence, aptitude, interest, values,

in a person only if it can be measured by using scientific procedures.
