48 meaning the diverse types of evaluation and coping activities. For instance, the different systems of beliefs and religious orientations can determine the individuals who confront the stress factors to evaluate these factors and to respond in particular ways, which lead them further towards particular levels of growth and evolution [3]. Research suggests that the social resources, the social support which was considered satisfying by the person play also an important role in the prediction of growth and post-trauma success. It’s more likely that the individuals who confront to stressing circumstances to be able to experience the growth and the evolution induced by stress, if they have relatively strong social resources and current life situations. For instance, Park and their partners found that the social support and especially the satisfaction of the individuals towards their social support correlate positively but moderate – the growth. More than this, the experience of much more positive life events in the same six months period when took place also the stressing life events – predicted a greater stress induced growth after the negative events [8]. As we mentioned earlier, coping can be considered a process between individuals and their background; it implies evaluations, meaning the fact that the situation or the event represents a threat, a challenge or a loss and also implies evaluations of what can be done. Once a person decides what can be done, coping strategies are implemented. The research on the coping process is usually focused on coping activities, even there are some surveys which stopped on the evaluations. Just a small part of these surveys focused on the growth associated to stress as a result of coping process. The evaluations of diverse types of stress factors can be correlated to growth. These include the primary evaluations (the control degree of the event, the extent to which the event violates the person’s beliefs, his/her expectations and goals and the extent to which the event is assessed as threatening versus challenging) and secondary evaluations (the extent to which the individuals feel they have necessary resources for managing the stressing situation). Until now the links between the primary evaluations and growth and the evolution associated to stress are- in a great extent- accidental. The evaluation as a challenge, which involves the interpretation of situations leading probably to a result as a success, so likely even with some earnings- were theorized as leading both to a better coping and to the experiencing of more positive results. The obvious theoretical link between the evaluations as challenge and growth and the evaluation associated to stress indicates the fact that this could be an important research field. The evaluation of the individual concerning the extent to which an event or a situation violates the beliefs, the expectations and his/her goals- is- the evaluation of the degree of stress produced by that event, done by the person himself/herself There are some suggestions that the high evaluations of the stress
