“…The evidence of the significant levels of intensity of physical symptoms of bereaved participants compared to controls, supports the findings of other researchers [ 1, 3,9,40] . That more credence has not been given to this issue in medical professions is perplexing.…”

“…This represented 60 per cent of females contacted and 62 per cent of males contacted. This reflects a slightly higher acceptance rate than that shown in the Harvard study [S] but lower than that reported by Vachon, et al [9] .

1980

aBsmacTThe 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. 0 1980. Baywood Publishing Co., Inc.
