This chapter represents the authors' initial attempt to integrate purely affective and cognitive processes into their biopsychosocial model of challenge and threat. Research validating the cardiovascular indexes of challenge and threat are reviewed. The authors then turn to the role of affective stimuli on challenge and threat appraisal processes, and discuss research suggestive of that role.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
