Question 2

Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the transactional model of stress.

Accepted Answer

The strengths of the transactional model of stress are that it explains coping in steps; underscores the importance of thinking, perception, and determination of controllability; emphasizes the role of chronic stressors or daily hassles as being more important than occasional life events; takes into account the interaction between the individual and his or her environment; and has a feedback mechanism, or closed loop system, in the form of reappraisal. The chief weaknesses of this model are that coping is not measured objectively, the model does not cover personality characteristics, and it does not cover physiological mechanisms.
