appraisal
An appraisal is a cognitive representation which represents an evaluation of the relevance of some triggering object or event to the organism.
Relationships      
Parents state of mind The class StateOfMind is distinguished from its complement TraitAttribute by the fact that instances of the former are transient while instances of the latter are persistent features of a creature's behavioral/psychological make-up.
Children appraisal of avoidability of consequencesAn appraisal which represents a judgement about how avoidable the expected consequences of an event will be.
 appraisal of causal agencyAn appraisal that represents an evaluation of who or what caused an event.
 appraisal of causal intentAn appraisal that represents an evaluation of the causal intent of the person who (is evaluated to have) caused an event.
 appraisal of congruence with idealsCan also be defined FOR SELF and FOR OTHER, where a special case of OTHER is 'society' (=> a judgement that an event violated laws or socially accepted norms) May want to distinguish violation of 'standards' from that of 'ideals', 'norms' and 'laws'. At the moment they are all lumped together.
 appraisal of dangerousnessAn appraisal which represents an evaluation of the dangerousness of an object or situation.
 appraisal of desirability of consequencesAn appraisal that represents an evaluation of the desirability of the expected consequences of an event.
 appraisal of expectednessAn appraisal that represents an evaluation of whether an event was expected to occur.
 appraisal of familiarityAn appraisal that represents an evaluation of how familiar an object or event is.
 appraisal of goal importanceLike pleasantness, the GRID questionnaire distinguishes between evaluations of goal importance/relevance for SELF and for an OTHER.
 appraisal of justice of treatmentAppraisal which represents an evaluation of whether the person was treated justly or unjustly by another person.
 appraisal of lossAn appraisal that represents a belief that something or someone that is important to the person has been lost to the person.
 appraisal of pleasantnessGRID questionnaire distinguishes between appraisal of pleasantness FOR SELF and appraisal of pleasantness FOR SOME OTHER. So far we have defined appraisal as evaluation of relevance FOR SELF, thus, we only include one appraisal of pleasantness (for the time being), although we may expand this later -- although I suspect that all or most of the appraisal types would have to be so qualified.
 appraisal of predictabilityAn appraisal that represents an evaluation of how predictable an event was.
 appraisal of social attentionAn appraisal which represents a judgement about the direction and nature of the social attention surrounding an event.
 appraisal of suddennessAn appraisal which represents an evaluation of how suddenly an event occurred.
 appraisal of urgency of responseAn appraisal that represents an evaluation of the urgency of responding to an event.
