Abstract

Multiple-group membership is recognized as a salient feature of modern social life, creating psychological problems for the individual and affecting social organization. In a study of four community disasters it was found that the resulting crises made apparent the latent conflict between ordinarily nonconflicting group loyalties, creating dilemmas for individuals and affecting the reorganization of the communities. Conflicts were found to arise between the family and secondary groups; "heroic" roles and prosaic occupational roles; "the company" and fellow-workers; and the community and extra-community groups.
