Regulating affective responses to acute stress has the potential to improve health, performance, and well-being outcomes. Using the biopsychosocial (BPS) model of challenge and threat as an organizing framework, we review how appraisals inform affective responses and highlight research that demonstrates how appraisals can be used as regulatory tools. Arousal reappraisal, specifically, instructs individuals on the adaptive benefits of stress arousal so that arousal is conceptualized as a coping resource. By reframing the meaning of signs of arousal that accompany stress (e.g., racing heart), it is possible to break the link between stressful situations, and malignant physiological responses and experiences of negative affect. Applications of arousal reappraisal for academic contexts and clinical science, and directions for future research are discussed.

利用评估过程来改善对社会压力的情感反应。

调节对急性压力的情感反应有可能改善健康、绩效和幸福结果。使用挑战和威胁的生物心理社会 (BPS) 模型作为组织框架，我们回顾了评估如何为情感反应提供信息，并突出展示了如何将评估用作监管工具的研究。具体而言，唤醒重新评估指导个人了解压力唤醒的适应性益处，以便将唤醒概念化为一种应对资源。通过重新定义伴随压力（例如，心跳加速）的唤醒迹象的含义，有可能打破压力情况与恶性生理反应和负面情绪体验之间的联系。唤醒重新评估在学术背景和临床科学中的应用，
