Creator

Noreci, Franko

Abstract

This paper addresses the concept of urban stress through the transactional model pioneered by Lazarus and Folkman. The stressor, the cognitive appraisal, the coping strategies, and the reaction to stress constitute the four key elements of the framework and the outcome is manifested in a cognitive, emotional, behavioral, or physiological manner. COVID-19 as a stressor affects all the aforementioned elements with mental health, gender, age and personality traits determining how the individual will react. In addition, cross-cultural differences, social support, and type of coping are presented. Lastly, solutions pertaining to social support and city development are proposed to secure well-being.
