Bereaved adolescents (N = 90) who had experienced relatively common death losses (e.g., grandparent, friend) completed the Texas Revised Inventory of Grief and the Emotional Closeness Scale and Continuum. Results indicated that present grief was significantly higher for friend than for grandparent death loss. A MANOVA revealed that those in the high closeness group reported significantly higher mean scores on past and present grief than those in the low closeness group. Finally, in a hierarchal multiple regression, after demographic variables were entered (e.g., age, present at death), emotional closeness added significant variance to the prediction of past and present grief. This research contributes to the understanding of grief intensity following adolescents' most common death losses and highlights the importance of counselors' intentionally and directly assessing bereaved adolescents' perceived emotional closeness to the deceased as part of grief-related counseling.
经历过相对常见死亡损失（如祖父母、朋友离世）的丧亲青少年（N = 90）完成了《德克萨斯修订悲伤量表》以及《情感亲密度量表与连续体》。结果表明，因朋友离世而产生的当前悲伤情绪显著高于因祖父母离世而产生的悲伤情绪。一项多变量方差分析显示，高亲密度组在过去和当前悲伤情绪方面的平均得分显著高于低亲密度组。最后，在层次多元回归分析中，纳入人口统计学变量（如年龄、是否在逝者去世时在场）后，情感亲密度对过去和当前悲伤情绪的预测增加了显著的方差。这项研究有助于理解青少年经历最常见死亡损失后的悲伤强度，并强调了咨询师在与悲伤相关的咨询中，有意且直接地评估丧亲青少年与逝者之间感知到的情感亲密度的重要性。
