“…This was particularly evident with regard to effective communication, which basically should have enabled them to coordinate resources and efforts to cope with the demands the critical events have placed on the family. Namely, we found that the communication patterns in place tended to exacerbate the situation through disagreement, yelling and harsh words against each other (Wilmoth and Smyser, 2009). Perry and his son Charles were particularly very impulsive during the family workshop, yelling at each other and disagreeing on JFBM strategic decisions of the family business (e.g.…”

“…The Double ABC-X Model not only focuses on the interplay of internal and external influencing factors but also highlights the relevance of prior experiences in dealing with challenges. The second part of the diagram shows the post-crisis phase, during which problem solving and coping are at the center of the post-crisis stage (Wilmoth and Smyser, 2009). Several dimensions are important to define the family's adaptation to the new situation, and these include adaptive resources (such as family hardiness and social support), pile-up of demands and perception (such as coherence among the family).…”

“…Generally, stress becomes problematic when the level of it causes a disturbance (Lavee et al, 1985), such as a family break-up or severe relationship conflicts, which started to be the case in the family under investigation. However, each family member perceives and assesses stressors differently due to individual interpretations and views (Wilmoth and Smyser, 2009). In terms of the perception of stressors, Perry was captured by his motivesautonomy, action, individuality and independencewhile Charles hated his father interfering into everyday managerial tasks and at the same time longed for support and recognition.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore leadership succession in families in business. Although there is a vast amount of research on leadership succession, no attempt has been made to understand this phenomenon by using an intergenerational learning approach. By applying the Double ABC–X model, the authors discuss how resilience is developed through intergenerational learning during family leadership succession in business. Design/methodology/approach Based on a single case, the authors define pre- and post-event parameters of the business family under study and use the Double ABC–X Model as an analytical framework. Individual and pair interviews, as well as a family firm workshop, were undertaken following an action research approach using multiple interventions. The qualitative data were collected by reflective journals, field notes and observation protocols. Finally, the authors analyze the data according to a circular deconstruction strategy. Findings The authors find specific pre-event stressor parameters related to mutual mistrust, independent decision making and non-strategic transmission of power, knowledge and responsibility from predecessor to successor. The intervention based on the intergenerational approach during the post-crisis phase focuses on problem solving and coping within the new situation of co-habitation among the two generations. The intergenerational learning approach based on pile-up of demands, adaptive resources and perception is the source of family adaptation. Additionally, the power of the narrative to reflect past events and project the future seems to the point where the family starts developing resilience. Originality/value The way family businesses deal with critical and stressful events during leadership succession may lead to intergenerational learning, which is a source of resilient families. The authors apply the Double ABC–X model to understand family leadership succession in business and further develop it to explain how families develop resilience.

“…Family Stress (Wilmoth, 2009) define family stress as a condition where environmental demands exceed the individual or collective family resources, disrupting the family system. Also, (Sunarti, 2012) uses the term pressure to describe the stress felt by the family and defines it as the family's perception of the problems it feels, which based on its source, can be divided into three components, namely: economic pressure, psychological pressure, and social pressure.…”

Many factors can affect children's school readiness, one of which is the family as their closest environment. This research aimed to analyze the effect of family socioeconomic status, family stress, and parental involvement on children's school readiness. This research involves 113 parents and students of group B Kindergarten in the Integrated Waste Processing Site (TPST) in Bantargebang District, Bekasi City, West Java Province. This sample was obtained using the multistage random sampling technique. This study uses path analysis techniques. This study indicates that socioeconomic status, family stress, and parental involvement do not directly affect Children’s school readiness. However, family socioeconomic status has a negative direct effect on family stress, and family stress can also have a negative direct effect on parental involvement in children's education. These findings imply that it is important to create a warm and supportive family environment to optimally carry out their roles and functions in children's education.

“…How families respond to a stressful event, namely their coping strategies were studied mainly in the case of normative stressful events (Daneshpour, 2017;González & Lorenzo, 2012;Janis, Callahan, Shelton, & Aubuchon-Endsley, 2016;Wilmoth & Smyser, 2009). This includes, for instance, families where there are members with chronic illnesses (Coppetti et al, 2019;Nabors et al, 2018;Park & Choi, 2017;Rolland, 2000;Schaffiner, 2014), autism (Krakovich, McGrew, Yu, & Ruble, 2016), elderly abuse perpetrated by informal caregivers (Lee, 2009), and those with disabilities (Ricketts, 2020).…”

Testing a coping scale in Mexican families in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic: Exploring the psychometric properties

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction. The rapid spread of the pandemic due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, more commonly known as COVID-19, required sanitary measures, such as social distancing and quarantining, which represented non-normative stressors for Mexican families. Objective. Obtaining evidence of the validity and reliability of a family coping scale in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Method. A questionnaire was developed containing 48 items, and responses were collected using Google forms with a total of 558 participants. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to obtain the reliability and validity of the scale. Results. The instrument is made up of six factors that explain 67.27% of the variance. The scale had a McDonald’s omega coefficient of .82, and the model had a good fit with most values equal to or higher than .90. Discussion and conclusions. The final items showed proper theoretical congruence and good indicators of fit. These results allow for the assertion that factors 1, 2, 5, and 6 allude to a good family adaptation in the face of the pandemic. Meanwhile, factors 3 and 4 indicate a poor family adaptation. Among the main contributions of this study is that this is one of the first scales to address the subject in Mexico, followed by statistical data that suggests the scale possesses appropriate psychometric properties to be used in the Mexican population.
