Primes¶
- Cognitive Appraisal
- This structured view distinguishes rigorous appraisal-theoretic work from the looser "just think positive" framing—interventions that target the relevant appraisal dimensions (reducing perceived urgency; shifting causal attribution; enhancing perceived coping potential) produce predictable emotional and behavioral consequences, while interventions targeting the wrong dimensions often do not.
This sourceContemporary synthesis of appraisal-theory variants and measurement challenges; targeting the relevant appraisal dimensions produces predictable emotional/behavioral consequences.

Moors et al. support the structured-versus-vague contrast (appraisal theories name specific variables such as urgency and coping potential) but do not discuss interventions on those variables.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
