Koos, while employed by the Columbia University Department of Sociology, developed the first
conceptual framework of family stress: correct answers the "Profile of Trouble"
Koos used the term "trouble" for: correct answers stressor
Koos identified what in Profile of Trouble? correct answers 1. the families' normal interaction
2. the point in the initiating cause took effect
3. the point at which the families' interaction dropped
4. the point of recovery
5. the angle of recovery
a-a'- normal interaction/organization correct answers indicates the family's normal interaction or
organization. Koos began his research using the term family organization and then changed to
family interaction when discussing his graphic device, and he determined the level of family
organization using four criteria
Koos determined the level of family organization/interaction using four criteria: correct answers
1. The amount of consciousness and acceptance by each family member of his or her and others'
roles in the family
2. The extent to which family members worked toward the good of the family and of each
individual
3. How much the family members found satisfaction with the family unit
4. Whether the family had sense of direction and was moving in that direction
Comparing the families to each other, Koos ranked and divided the families into three categories
of family organization/interaction: correct answers better than average
average
below average
,b-the point at which the initiating cause takes effect: correct answers the lower case b represent
the point at which the initiating cause takes effect. The lowercase b represents the point at which
the stressor takes effect, not the point at which the stressor occurs.
Koos also referred to initiating causes as: correct answers troubles or, in today's terminology,
stressors.
Koo's model in fact indicates that the effects of the stressor may not be: correct answers
immediate
c-the point at which the initiating cause takes effect: correct answers the lowercase c indicates
the point at which family interaction drops or, in today's terminology, the lowest point of the
crisis.
d-the point of recovery correct answers d represents the point of recovery. Koos grouped the
profiles into four general types of variations found in the families he studied.
the variations found in the families Koos studied: correct answers 1. the families recovered to
their pre-trouble levels of interaction or organization
2. the families recovered to higher levels. FAmily interaction rose to a higher-than-pretrouble
level.
3. the families did not recover to their previous levels of interaction. Interaction did not recover
fully, these families remained below the pre-trouble level
4. before the families had completely recovered from the initial "trouble", a second trouble
occurred. Only incomplete recovery from one trouble took place
e-the angle of recovery correct answers e represents the angle of recovery: the size of the angle
depends on the length of time that it takes to recover. the smaller the angle, the shorter the
recovery period while the larger the able, the longer the recovery period.
,A criticism of Koo's presentation of the Profile of Trouble is the fact that he changed: correct
answers terminology during the course of his discussion of the device, as Koos began his
discussion using the term family organization and then changed to family interaction.
What are some other criticisms about Koo's presentation of the Profile of Trouble? correct
answers Koos used the term trouble to refer to both the stressor and the state of crisis. He used
the term cause, which we no longer use because it sounds deterministic. Although Koo's model
refer to families, each individual in the family may be at a different phase of the model at the
same time.
ON the positive side of the Profile of Trouble: correct answers Besides being the first conceptual
framework in family stress theory, Koo's model takes us from before the stressor to after
recovery from the crisis.
From his study of families experiencing the stressor of departure from and a reunion with the
husband because of war, Reuben Hill, grandfather of the study of family, drew upon Koo's
Profile of Trouble to describe: correct answers "the course of family adjustment in the face of
crisis"
Hill was actually testing Koo's model in his research. He described Koo's Profile of Trouble as
the truncated form of a correct answers roller coaster
Hill stated that "each responsible member" of the family "experiences a roller-coaster pattern of
personal shock, disorganization, recovery, readjustment", implying that the model can be used to
track: correct answers personal crises as well as family crises.
For Hill's Truncated Roller Coaster Profile of Adjustment, he broke down adjustment patterns
into periods: correct answers 1. represents the pre-crisis family level of organization
2. represents anticipatory reactions and preparation for the first stressor
3. represents reaction to the first stressor/the first disorganization; (crisis)
, 4. represents the adjustment process
5. represents the level of organization after reorganization/adjustment is complete
6. represents anticipatory reactions and preparation for the second impending stressor
7. represents reactions to the second stressor/the second disorganization
8. represents the reorganization/readjustment process
9. represents the level of reorganization
Like Koos, Hill found more than one pattern of adjustment: correct answers good adjustment to
separation and good adjustment to reunion,
good adjustment to separation and poor adjustment to reunion,
fair adjustment to to separation and good adjustment to reunion,
fair adjustment to separation and poor adjustment to reunion,
and poor adjustment to separation and good adjustment to reunion.
The first period of Hills Roller coaster model is the correct answers pre-crisis family
organization. HIll operationalized family organization as family adaptability and integration and
marital adjustment.
