Abstract
Three forms of post-relocation adjustment: (a) personal, (b) external, and (c) family, are predicted in a sample of 882 highly mobile Air Fo rce adolescents using Hill's ABC-X crisis model, which focuses on obje ctive aspects of a stressor coping resources, and perceptions of the s tressful situation. The three forms of adjustment were interrelated. P erceptions of the stressful situation were most important to external and personal adjustment, although social resources predicted family ad justment.
