Q

Cognitive Appraisal vs Cognitive Reappraisal?

A

Cognitive appraisal is the initial evaluation, while cognitive reappraisal is a subsequent process of changing that evaluation.

Examples:
CA - If someone doesn’t wave back at you, you might appraise the situation as a sign of rejection or indifference.
CRA - If you initially appraised the situation of someone not waving back as rejection, you might reappraise it by thinking, “Maybe they didn’t see me.”
