Answersmay include:•Greater geographic mobility•Stress in the context of physical science•In the twentieth century, Cannon (l932) laid the foundation for systematic research on theeffects of stress in observations of bodily changes.•In the social sciences, both sociology and psychology have long histories of study related tostress and coping. Sociologists Marx, Weber, and Durkheim wrote extensively about“alienation,” which was conceptualized as synonymous with powerlessness, meaninglessness,and self-estrangement, clearly under the general rubric of stress (Lazarus & Folkman, l984). Inpsychology, stress was implicit as an organizing framework for thinking about psychopathology,especially in the theorizing of Freud and later psychologically oriented writers. Freudianpsychology highlighted the process of coping and established the basis for a developmental

Families and Change: Coping With Stressful Events and Transitions Fifth Edition Test Bank - Page 10 preview imagePrice,Families & Change 5eInstructor Resourceapproach that considered the effect of life events on later development and gradual acquisitionof resources over the life cycle.•Advances in technology, industrialization, urbanization, increased population density (includinghousing, traffic, and demand on the infrastructures), terrorism, and economic issues arefrequently identified as making daily life more complicated and impersonal. Family roles aremore fluid and diverse than the past, resulting in fewer social norms and supports. Families havebecome more diverse as a result of changing family structures (e.g., divorce, single-parentfamilies, LGBTQ families, remarriage, cohabitation,and intergenerationalreciprocity),immigration, economics (e.g., increased cost of living and two earner families), geographicmobility, and other macro level factors. In addition to natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes,tornadoes, earthquakes) and everyday stressors (e.g., accidents, discrimination based on race,religious beliefs, gender, and sexual orientation), U.S. families are facing the reality of warsinvolving American troops overseas. Additionally, contemporary families are experiencingeconomic insecurity and stress due to the Great Recession and the severe economic downturnin the global economy (see Bartholomae & Fox). Fluctuating unemployment rates, soberingfinancial losses in pensions, investments, and savings accounts, and the disappearance ofbenefits contribute to the financial struggle of individuals and families. Consider theaccumulation of these events and it quickly becomes apparent that stress is a part of everydaylife.Answer location: 3-5, IntroductionQuestion type: ESSCognitive Domain:Analysis

Bothanticipated and unanticipated events constitute daily hassles (Wheaton, 1999).•First, everyday hassles represent a more frequent and continuous form of stress than therelatively rare events that constitute major life changes. Because of their frequency, everydayhasslesmay be more important determinants of family stress than major, but less frequent, lifeevents (Repetti & Wood, 1997b; Serido et al., 2004).•The aggregate effects of everyday hassles have the potential to compromise family andindividual well-being and even increase vulnerability to major life events. Second, hassles arecharacterized by relatively minor ongoing stressors that occupy daily living.Answer Location: What Are Everyday Hassles?, p. 28Question Type: ESSCognitive Domain:Analysis2.How has research oneverydayhassles evolved?Describe howfeminist methodologies have advancedthe field.*a. Answers may include:•Feminist scholars who have used qualitative methods to study everyday, routinized experienceswithin families have also emphasized the multidimensional nature of dailyhassles. Focusing onthe routine, gendered experiences of everyday family life, feminist researchers have conductedin-depth, face-to-face interviews to uncover valuable insights regarding daily hassles. Thesestudies provide rich sources of information about the nuances of daily family life that includeparticipants’ own, often quite complex, appraisals of their experiences.•In addition to underscoring the complex and sometimes contradictory nature of family members’experiences of daily hassles, a rich history of qualitative research has uncovered routinizedaspects of daily family life previously overlooked by researchers. This body of work directs ourattention beyond the activities typically identified in survey studies to include (a) emotion work(Dressel & Clark, 1990), (b) kin work (DiLeonardo, 1987), (c) marriage work (Oliker, 1989), (d) thescheduling of family time (Daly, 1996; Roy, Tubbs, & Burton, 2004), (e) the feeding of the family(DeVault, 1991), (f) the enactment of family rituals (Oswald, 2000), (g) household labor (Coltrane,
