In this model,

 A refers to the event or situation

 B refers to resources

 C refers to perception

 X refers to the degree of stress which is low, high, or crisis.

All the elements are represented by cylindrical shapes and are connected to each other, both sideways and diagonally. A crack is seen in the shape for degree of stress, between crisis and high.

In this model,

 Time is shown along the horizontal axis which is divided into precrisis, crisis, and postcrisis.

 Precrisis consists of the elements a, b, and c (in lower case). a refers to stressor, b refers to existing resources, and c refers to perception of a. Double-headed arrows show the interlinking of the elements a and b, b and c, and a and c.

 Precrisis leads to crisis which consist of the factor x.

 Crisis leads to postcrisis.

 Postcrisis refers to coping which points to pileup represented by lower case a uppercase A, existing and new resources represented by lower case b upper case B, and perception of X plus lower case a upper case A plus lower case b upper case B, represented by lower case c upper case C. Coping also points to adaptation which in turn points to bonadaptation above and maladaptation below. Maladaptation is represented by lower case x upper case X.
