appraisal

Explanation:

Cognitive appraisal: In psychology, the term cognitive appraisal was proposed by Richard Lazarus during 1966.

In other words, the cognitive appraisal states that stress is considered as a situation that leads to develop an imbalance between the individual's getting a demand and the available resources that the person has to cope up with.
