使用前瞻性纵向数据的一个较老的样本开始之前的配偶死亡,G。A. Bonanno et al.(2002)区分了丧亲结局的5种独特轨迹:普通悲伤,慢性悲伤,慢性抑郁,抑郁后改善和恢复力。这些轨迹已经确定,目前的研究的目的是检查在每个组的受访者如何反应和处理的损失的差异。具体的假设进行了测试,在应对,意义的决策,上下文和表征失去的关系的差异。研究结果表明,慢性悲伤源于失去健康配偶的动荡,而慢性抑郁症则源于更持久的情感困难,这些困难因失去配偶而加剧。恢复力和抑郁改善组都表现出了非常健康的个人资料,并且相对较少的证据表明他们在努力或否认/避免损失。
Using prospective longitudinal data on an older sample beginning prior to the death of a spouse, G. A. Bonanno et al. (2002) distinguished 5 unique trajectories of bereavement outcome: common grief, chronic grief, chronic depression, depression followed by improvement, and resilience. These trajectories having been identified, the aims of the current study were to examine differences in how respondents in each group reacted to and processed the loss. Specific hypotheses were tested regarding differences in coping, meaning making, context, and representations of the lost relationship. Results suggest that chronic grief stems from the upheaval surrounding the loss of a healthy spouse, whereas chronic depression results from more enduring emotional difficulties that are exacerbated by the loss. Both the resilient and the depressed-improved groups showed remarkably healthy profiles and relatively little evidence of either struggling with or denying/avoiding the loss.
