Situational Note-taking: Lazarus’ Perspective and “Coping Activity as Mental Tuning”
A short note about a case study of the mental tuning framework
As mentioned in Value Circle #5: Building A Joint Knowledge Center, I worked on building a Joint Knowledge Center called Mental Engagement Center (code name) with a friend from Sept 2023 to Dec 2023.
In Nov 2023, my friend asked me to review Richard S. Lazarus’ approach to emotion and adaptation. I was not familiar with Lazarus’ work before that conversation.
After reading two papers by Richard S. Lazarus, I made the above diagram based on the Mental Tuning Framework.
I also sent an email about my thoughts to my friend on Nov 22, 2023.
Now I am going to share the email as a Situational Note.
After reading Lazarus’ 1990 paper titled Emotion and Adaptation, I made a Mental Tuning diagram:
“Coping Activity as Mental Tuning”
See the attached files (see the above diagram).

I use Response (Challenge) to refer to Lazarus’ theory’s object.
