Threat appraisals are future oriented. When the future suggests the possibility of harm or loss, the person will experience threat. With these appraisals, the person can anticipate future coping needs and prepare for the threat. In anticipating the future, when the coping abilities are self-assessed as meeting the demands of the situation, then the potential harm-loss appraisal will be seen as a challenge rather than a threat. Challenge appraisals see the potential for gain or growth.
