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.

Raven's Progressive Matrices (RPM) is a multiple-choice test that measures abstract reasoning, spatial awareness,
and cognitive thinking. The test is administered as a nonverbal group test. The most common version of the test
consists of 60 questions.
The test is typically used to measure general human intelligence and is regarded as a non-verbal estimate of fluid
intelligence. It is one of the most common tests administered to both groups and individuals ranging from 5-year-olds to
the elderly.
The test was originally developed by Dr. John C. Raven in 1936. In each test item, the subject is asked to identify the
missing item that completes a pattern.
The test is considered a very effective and accurate tool for assessing cognitive thinking and intellectual capacity. A
larger number of correct answers than average indicates above-average intelligence, and vice versa.
32. Which type of test is represented in the picture? Is it an IQ test? (1)
33. What are the Raven's progressive matrices? What is the use of this test? (2)
