Family Development Stress
• Stressor–Anything that elicits a physiological and/or
psychological response – a stress response• Good stress – eustress• Negative stress - distress

Categories of Common Stressors
• Personal• Social/family• Work• Environmental

Family Life Cycle Developmental Tasks• Changes in Structure– Family structure is dynamic–Must adapt to ongoing changes in the
system• Changes in Family Roles–As structure changes, family roles change–Changes occur in family boundaries
![Page 5: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Family Life Cycle Developmental Tasks
• Changes in Family Roles–As roles change, communication changes– Individual growth demands change
![Page 6: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Family as a System• Family is a system of interrelated parts• Family members affect and are affected by
each other• Each family must be viewed as a whole• Each family’s goal is to maintain homeostasis
or balance
![Page 7: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Figure 15.1: Stages of Selye’s General
Adaptation Syndrome
![Page 8: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
General Adaptation Syndrome• Describes the physiological responses to
eustress and distress• Stage 1: Alarm Reaction– The brain perceives the stressor and
signals the body to deal with it through neurological and physiological means– The body reacts to the threat– Fight or flight tendency
![Page 9: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
General Adaptation Syndrome
• Stage 2 : Stage of Resistance– The body continues to battle the stressor
and remains in a state of arousal– Increased level of stress steroids alarms
the body’s organs– Energy eventually becomes depleted
![Page 10: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
General Adaptation Syndrome• Stage 3: Exhaustion–Chronic unrelenting stress or mismanaged
stress can cause permanent damage– The body over time simply breaks down–People under stress may experience a
variety of symptoms – headaches, nausea, depression, crying, fatigue, anger, racing heart, inability to eat or sleep, and more
![Page 11: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Event Based Stress
• A life change event • One that is forever life altering• One that requires significant social and
psychological adjustment
![Page 12: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Social Readjustment Rating Scale• Identifies association between life events
and life transitions
• Identifies the impact of these events and transitions on individual physical health and well-being
![Page 13: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Transactional Model of Stress• The impact of the stressor is wholly
dependent on our perception and appraisal of the stressor
• Primary appraisal – instinctively evaluate the stressor and assess its significance
• Secondary appraisal – assess how controllable the stressor is and which resources
![Page 14: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Locus of Control
• External Locus of Control• The perception that we cannot control what
happens to some aspects of our lives• Internal Locus of Control• The perception that we are in control of our
destiny
![Page 15: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Coping Efforts• Strategies used to bring order to, normalize, or
regulate the stressor• Problem management strategies– Aimed directly at attacking the stressor
• Emotional regulation strategies– Help individuals change their perceptions,
interpretation, and the meaning of the stressor
• Meaning based strategies– Techniques that produced positive emotion
![Page 16: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Table 15.2: Types of Family Crises
![Page 17: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Four Types of Family Crisis• Dismemberment – separation of isolation of
an individual from the rest of the family• Accession – when turbulence occurs due to
the addition of a family member• Demoralization plus Dismemberment or
Accession- family is demoralized because of embarrassing stressors such as imprisonment or suicide of a family member
![Page 18: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Figure 15.2: Hill’s ABC –X Model of Family Stress
![Page 19: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The ABC’s of Family Crisis
• ABC-X Family Crisis Model – Reuben Hill• Family crisis is a combination of factors and
the outcomes of the event• The A Factor – stress can be normative
development such as the birth of a child, marriage of an adult child, early death of a spouse – are family specific
![Page 20: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
ABC-X Model continued• The B Factor- refers to the resources the
family has that will help meet the demands of the stressor or crisis – communication, problem solving, coping strategies
• The C Factor – the definition the family assigns to change, transition, stressor, or disruption
![Page 21: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
ABC-X Model continued• The X Factor – this is the combination of A, B
and C and is totally dependent on the resources the family has to meet the crisis or stressor
![Page 22: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Double ABC-X model• Stressors pile up on families• 3 types of stressors that lead to the pile-up– Initial stressor: the first stressor– Family life changes and transitions: things
that take place regardless of stressors– Stressors: those stressors associated with
family’s attempt to cope with circumstances
![Page 23: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Double ABC-X model
• The Double B Factor • Resources that family already has – minimize
impacts• Coping resources – self reliance, self esteem
![Page 24: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Double ABC-X model
The Double C Factor• The perception of the event or stressor may
be– The family’s perception of the stressor
itself– The family’s perception of the crisis
![Page 25: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Double ABC-X model• The Double X Factor • Possible outcomes of stress• Family adaptation – return to pre-crisis level
of functioning• Maladaptive levels of functioning – low-
functioning, ill-functioning, non-functioning• Bonadaptive – level of functioning may grow
and strengthen
![Page 26: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Family Adaptive TasksTo successfully adjust, families must1. Establish the meaning and understand the
personal significance of the situation2. Confront reality and respond to the
requirements of the external situation3. Sustain relationships with family
members and friends as well as with other individuals who may be helpful in resolving the crisis and aftermath
![Page 28: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Family Adaptive Tasks

![Page 44: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
The Cycle of Violence
• Tension Building – victim senses an explosive, violent episode is about to occur, fear builds, she tries to stay out of his way; goal is to prevent batterer from becoming violent
![Page 45: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
The Cycle of Violence
• Acute Battering Incident – destructive, out of control, brutal, violence has escalated into an acute battering incident, can become deadly, verbal abuse, severe beating, possible rape, victim does not usually fight back
![Page 46: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
The Cycle of Violence
• Respite Phase – often called the “honeymoon,” abuser apologizes, may give victim gifts, express his regret, victim may have sense of renewed hope
![Page 47: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Family Coping and Resilience• Major Types of Coping Skills–Appraisal focused – attempt to
understand why crisis occurred and attempt to find meaning in circumstances that caused crisis–Problem focused coping – allows family to
confront the situation by seeking information about the crisis
![Page 50: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Family Coping and Resilience• Emotion focused coping – crisis evokes a wide
range of feelings and emotions– Progressive desensitization: gradually allow
increasing exposure to aspects of the stressor– Emotional discharge: venting of anger,
frustration, confusion, disappointment– Resigned acceptance: family ultimately
accepts the situation, recognizes nothing will change the course their family has taken
![Page 51: Chapter 15: Family Change: Stress, Crisis, and Transition.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012918/56649dc65503460f94ab9a68/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Family Resilience• A family’s ability to function during times of stress,
adversity, crisis, and transition• Resilience Processes – Family belief system– Making meaning of adversity– Positive outlook– Flexibility– Connectedness– Communication
