Abstract
A formal, mathematically-specified, normative model of coping was evaluated using established indexes of fit to empirical decision and choice data. Results indicated significant improvement when using subjective appraisals of threat, over objective or group-based estimates. Formal models of preference and choice, in turn, can address individual differences in model operation.
