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 StateOfMind 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 AppraisalOfAvoidabilityOfConsequencesAn appraisal which represents a judgement about how avoidable the expected consequences of an event will be.
 AppraisalOfCausalAgencyAn appraisal that represents an evaluation of who or what caused an event.
 AppraisalOfCausalIntentAn appraisal that represents an evaluation of the causal intent of the person who (is evaluated to have) caused an event.
 AppraisalOfCongruenceWithIdealsCan 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.
 AppraisalOfDangerousnessAn appraisal which represents an evaluation of the dangerousness of an object or situation.
 AppraisalOfDesirabilityOfConsequencesAn appraisal that represents an evaluation of the desirability of the expected consequences of an event.
 AppraisalOfExpectednessAn appraisal that represents an evaluation of whether an event was expected to occur.
 AppraisalOfFamiliarityAn appraisal that represents an evaluation of how familiar an object or event is.
 AppraisalOfGoalImportanceLike pleasantness, the GRID questionnaire distinguishes between evaluations of goal importance/relevance for SELF and for an OTHER.
 AppraisalOfJusticeOfTreatmentAppraisal which represents an evaluation of whether the person was treated justly or unjustly by another person.
 AppraisalOfLossAn appraisal that represents a belief that something or someone that is important to the person has been lost to the person.
 AppraisalOfPleasantnessGRID 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.
 AppraisalOfPredictabilityAn appraisal that represents an evaluation of how predictable an event was.
 AppraisalOfSocialAttentionAn appraisal which represents a judgement about the direction and nature of the social attention surrounding an event.
 AppraisalOfSuddennessAn appraisal which represents an evaluation of how suddenly an event occurred.
 AppraisalOfUrgencyAn appraisal that represents an evaluation of the urgency of responding to an event.
