Does a positive appraisal style work in all stressful situations and for all individuals?

Boris Egloff. Behav Brain Sci. 2015.

Abstract

Kalisch et al. posit that a positive appraisal style is the key to resilience. I will argue instead that the adaptiveness of a particular emotion-regulation strategy is determined by contextual factors. Hence, a positive appraisal style might not always result in positive consequences and is most likely not the only mediator of resilience.
