The model conceptualizes stress as a result of how a stressor is appraised and how a person appraises his/her resources to cope with the stressor. The model breaks the stressor-stress link by proposing that if stressors are perceived as positive or challenging rather than a threat, and if the stressed person is confident that he/she possesses adequate rather than deficient coping strategies, stress may not necessarily follow the presence of a potential stressor. The model proposes that stress can be reduced by helping stressed people change their perceptions of stressors, providing them with strategies to help them cope and improving their confidence in their ability to do so.senses = the higher brainhypothalamuscorticotrophin releasing factor (CRF)pituiary gland (low cortex)adrenocortotrophic hormone (ACTH)adrenal cortexreleases cortiosteroids into the blood
