Studies of clergy have emphasized the effects of stressors inherent to the profession and the impact of these on the minister's personal and family life. Hill's (1949) ABC‐X model of family stress was employed to extend the focus to include three classes of variables: demands, social support, and perception. Results of questionnaires from a random sample of 312 Protestant clergy indicated that perception variables are more consistently correlated with outcome than were either demand or support.
