    A situational crisis occurs when external sources such as a job change, motor vehicle crash, death, or severe illness trigger stress. Therefore, all the people who survived the accident may have a situational crisis. A developmental crisis occurs when there is a change in the developmental stage of a person such as a marriage, the birth of a child, or retirement that requires new coping styles. Therefore, the husband and wife will not have a developmental crisis. An adventitious crisis occurs in situations of a major natural disaster, man-made disaster, or a crime of violence. Therefore, none of the survivors will have an adventitious crisis.
