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 non-conflicting group loyalties, creating dilemmas for individuals and affecting the re-organization 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
