悲伤经历量表(GEI)和MMPI被用来评估丧亲反应在102个新的丧亲者,107个控制也进行了评估。在经历的三种类型的死亡中比较了丧亲反应的强度,即,配偶、子女和父母。在孩子去世后幸存的父母中,悲伤的强度明显更高。与对照组相比,在丧亲组中观察到明显的生理症状。频繁的教堂出席者更有可能作出反应,更乐观和社会的可取性,但更多的压抑丧亲之痛的反应比不经常教堂出席者。收入似乎并没有对丧亲之痛本身产生负面影响,而是对低收入者周围的一系列削弱性变量产生负面影响。与猝死情况相比,慢性病死亡的幸存者的丧亲强度没有差异。
The Grief Experience Inventory (GEI) and the MMPI were used to assess bereavement reactions in 102 newly bereaved individuals; 107 controls were also assessed. Intensities of bereavement reactions were compared across three types of deaths experienced, i.e., spouse, child, and parent. Significantly higher intensities of grief were noted in parents surviving their child's death. A distinct number of physiological symptoms were noted in the bereaved group as compared to controls. Frequent church attenders were more likely to respond with higher optimism and social desirability but more repression of bereavement responses than were less frequent church attenders. Income did not appear to contribute negatively to bereavement itself but rather to the constellation of debilitating variables which surrounds those with low income. There were no differences in bereavement intensities between those who survived a chronic-illness death as compared with sudden death situations.
