Abstract

<div class="line" id="line-15"> <span style='color: rgb(28, 29, 30); font-family: "Open Sans", icomoon, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;'> The ABC&hyphen;X model is used for analyzing stress and coping within families. The model consists of (A) the stressor event, (B) the resources available to a family, (C) the family's perceptions of the stressor, and (X) the likelihood of crisis. Variables B and C determine whether the stressor event (A) results in crisis. The ABC&hyphen;X model has been refined through the inclusion of additional factors such as a family's social context and further developed into the double ABC&hyphen;X model by subsequent research. The double ABC&hyphen;X model addresses postcrisis coping processes that determine whether a family can adapt to a crisis. It includes (aA) the pileup of additional stressors and the original crisis; (bB) existing resources and resources developed in order to meet the crisis; (cC) a family's perceptions of the crisis, additional stressors, and its available resources; and (xX) the likelihood of adaptation to crisis. The ABC&hyphen;X and double ABC&hyphen;X models are influential in family research and counseling. </span></div>
