本研究考察了持续联系（CB）表达类型与复杂悲伤风险因素的关系以及丧亲相关调整措施。外化的CB表达涉及对死者的幻觉和幻觉，而内化的CB表达涉及将死者作为自主促进安全基础的使用。502名失去亲人的参与者在互联网上完成了一项CB测量，评估外化和内化CB以及各种已知的风险因素测量，包括死亡原因（即暴力与非暴力死亡）、死亡责任和依恋类型，以及包括复杂悲伤症状、感知身体健康和个人成长在内的心理调整测量。正如所预测的那样，外化的责任与暴力死亡和死亡责任呈正相关，而内化的责任与这些风险因素呈负相关，并且与个人成长呈独特的正相关。本文还讨论了研究结果对CB在调整中的作用的影响。
This study examined type of continuing bonds (CB) expression in relation to risk factors for complicated grief and measures of bereavement-related adjustment. Externalized CB expressions involving illusions and hallucinations with the deceased were distinguished from internalized CB expressions involving use of the deceased as an autonomy promoting secure base. 502 bereaved participants completed over the internet a CB measure assessing externalized and internalized CB along with various known risk-factor measures that included cause of death (i.e., violent vs. non-violent death), responsibility for the death, and attachment style as well as measures of psychological adjustment that included complicated grief symptoms, perceived physical health, and personal growth. As predicted, externalized CB was positively associated with violent death and responsibility for the death, whereas internalized CB was negatively associated with these risk factors as well as uniquely positively linked to personal growth. The implications of the findings for the role of CB in adjustment are discussed.
