This research examined the effect of marital status and gender on various indicators of psychological adaptation, namely depressive symptoms, loneliness, and life satisfaction. It further explores the role of trait resilience, marital history, and context of death for predicting these outcomes in bereaved individuals. Four hundred eighty widowed individuals aged between 60 and 89 were compared with 759 married peers. Main effects were found for marital status and gender for all indicators. The regression analyses illustrate the multifaceted structure of psychological adaptation. Trait resilience is a key factor in adapting to spousal bereavement, whereas marital history and the context are secondary.
本研究考察了婚姻状况和性别对心理适应的各种指标的影响，即抑郁症状、孤独感和生活满意度。它进一步探讨了特质复原力、婚姻史和死亡情境在预测丧偶个体这些结果方面的作用。将480名年龄在60至89岁之间的丧偶个体与759名已婚同龄人进行了比较。在所有指标上均发现了婚姻状况和性别的主效应。回归分析说明了心理适应的多方面结构。特质复原力是适应配偶丧亲之痛的关键因素，而婚姻史和情境则是次要因素。
