Families in Disaster research has drawn heavily from the family stress and crises research paradigms and concepts advanced by Reuben Hill's ABC-X Model and by related research. This article attempts to broaden the perspective of family behavior in disaster situations by advancing additional concepts, definitions and propositions. Findings from longitudinal research on American families faced with the historically unique traumatic situation of having a husband/father held captive or unaccounted for in the Vietnam War were analyzed first in reference to the ABC-X Model, which suggested the need to expand this classic model. This article introduces the Double ABC-X Model in an effort to capture the dynamic nature of family response to stress over time. This expanded model includes: AA-the family's pile up of life events and stressors over time; BB-the family's resources which are strenghened or developed within and in transaction with the community and include coping and social support; CC-the family's perception of the stressor and related changes in the family; and XX-the additional end state of family adaptation following a crisis. This model merits careful consideration and additional testing in light of stress and disaster studies reviewed and propositions advanced during the past decade.

This conceptual article seeks to address the heterogeneity of family firms in terms of their innovativeness by investigating business family communication dynamics. We use the established family communication constructs of conversation and conformity orientations to develop a typology of family firms in terms of innovativeness. We provide empirically testable propositions and present possible operationalizations for future research. In particular, we argue that supportive business families (i.e., families characterized by high conversation orientation and moderate conformity orientation) are associated with the highest levels of innovativeness in the family‐controlled firm. Through this article we hope to deepen our understanding of the relationship between family and firm levels of analysis, to develop a stronger bond between communication and innovative behavior, and to identify family‐related antecedents of heterogeneity in family firm innovativeness.

This series consists of notepad pages kept by Anna Day in which she recorded business transactions with customers, kept notes of her own purchases, and listed names and addresses for a variety of people from all over the country. She recorded the addresses for businesses, such as the Redbook Corporation, from which a magazine subscription cost "$2.00 a year." For sales, she made note of specific items (ie. eggs or bread or yards of velveteen) and of particular services (ie. pasturing horses or sewing a shirt or serving a meal), their cost, and the totals for each transaction. Also included are the details of trades for goods (e.g. "a pipe for 5 blankets"), in addition to cash purchases. She kept notes from her own shopping as well, such as her payment for a watch in Denver: she listed its cost, its brand, the model number, and where she got it. She also mentioned book titles, and the names of "disc records" she bought for the gramophone. The journal she used is a small, top-flipping notebook from a company called "Mellin's Foods for Infants and Invalids." The pages are lined on one side and include advertising slogans at the top of each lined page.BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE The Day Family were Anglo Indian traders on the Navajo Reservation in eastern Arizona.
