This study examined ten measures of personality, self-image, and emotional and family problems in a sample of 2,158 Australian adolescents, some of whom had suffered parental loss. The data reveal a pattern of poorer adjustment in adolescents who have lost a parent, but clearly demonstrate that type of loss and family reconstitution have no differential effects on psychosocial development. Implications for future research are discussed.
本研究对2158名澳大利亚青少年样本的十种人格、自我形象、情感和家庭问题指标进行了考察，其中一些青少年经历过父母丧亡。数据显示，经历过父母丧亡的青少年适应能力较差，但清楚地表明丧亲类型和家庭重组对心理社会发展没有差异影响。文中讨论了对未来研究的启示。
