Answer 1

Lazarus and Folkman's Transactional Model of Stress and Coping (TMS) emphasizes cognitive appraisal and coping strategies to manage stress.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lazarus and Folkman's Transactional Model of Stress and Coping (TMS) focuses on cognitive appraisal and coping strategies. It emphasizes that our emotions are determined by our appraisal of the stressor, and that we use mental and behavioral efforts to deal with the stress. The model distinguishes between problem-focused coping and emotion-focused coping, depending on whether we try to manage or alter the problem or change our emotions associated with the stress.
