The purpose of the current study was to document the course and 1-month post-bereavement predictors of both positive and negative psychological states in bereaved gay male caregivers for 3 years following the death of their partners. The results show that although the patterns of post-bereavement depressive mood and positive psychological states were similar, some of their predictors differed. Given that the processes that produce positive psychological states are not the same as those that produce negative states, our findings support the inclusion of both positive and negative psychological states in studies of post-bereavement adjustment.
本研究的目的是记录男同性恋丧亲照料者在伴侣去世后的3年里，其积极和消极心理状态的发展过程以及丧亲后1个月的预测因素。结果表明，尽管丧亲后的抑郁情绪模式和积极心理状态相似，但它们的一些预测因素有所不同。鉴于产生积极心理状态的过程与产生消极心理状态的过程不同，我们的研究结果支持在丧亲后适应研究中纳入积极和消极心理状态。
