stress. This theoretical paper reviews the four levels model of coping, with low
order processes corresponding to coping instances and the high order processes
corresponding to a global adaptation strategies. The article reviews

dependent of frontal cortical structures. Coping would perform trough primary
control or direct action in source of stress or negative emotion, through
secondary control or adaptation to source of stress, and through disengage or
escape stressors or negative emotions. Besides that, this paper argument that
coping involves evaluation, planning, analysis and results anticipation, and
that it is typically related to executive functions.
