传统的丧亲理论强调，通过损失的情感意义来工作是至关重要的，如果不这样做，通常会导致延迟的悲伤症状。本文报告的数据检查这些假设前瞻性的头5年的丧亲之痛。根据以前的有效性数据，升高的症状定义为每项措施的6个月中位数评分。在3例（7%）受试者的单独测量中观察到延迟性升高。然而，这些海拔更吝啬地解释随机测量误差。此外，当加权的悲伤抑郁综合评分被用来最大限度地捕捉真正的（潜在的）悲伤变量的概率，没有一个迟发性症状升高的情况下，观察最后，数据的情感处理的损失在6个月未能支持传统的假设，最小的情感处理的损失将导致延迟悲伤。
Traditional bereavement theories emphasize that it is crucial to work through the emotional meanings of a loss and that the failure to do so typically results in delayed grief symptoms. This article reports data examining these assumptions prospectively across the first 5 years of bereavement. Based on previous validity data, elevated symptoms were defined in terms of 6-month median scores for each measure. Delayed elevations were observed on isolated measures for 3 (7%) participants. However; these elevations were more parsimoniously explained by random measurement error. Furthermore, when a weighted grief-depression composite score was used to maximize the probability of capturing the true (latent) grief variable, not a single case of delayed symptom elevations was observed Finally, data on emotional processing of the loss at 6 months failed to support the traditional assumption that minimal emotional processing of the loss would lead to delayed grief.
