The current study focused on the associations between the cause of a loved one's death, mourner's emotional distress, mourner's ongoing relationship with the deceased, and posttraumatic growth (PTG). The sample comprised 91 Israeli mourners following death due to traffic accident, military service, or prolonged illness. Participants completed questionnaires assessing psychological distress, ongoing relationship with the deceased, and PTG. Findings showed that in traffic-accident deaths, mourners reported higher psychological distress and preoccupation with the deceased compared to that reported by the other mourner groups. Moreover, psychological distress mediated the association between the cause of death and PTG. The findings emphasize the differences between the mourner groups.
当前的研究聚焦于所爱之人的死亡原因、哀悼者的情绪困扰、哀悼者与逝者的持续关系以及创伤后成长（PTG）之间的关联。样本包括91名因交通事故、服兵役或长期疾病死亡的以色列哀悼者。参与者完成了评估心理困扰、与逝者的持续关系以及PTG的问卷。研究结果表明，在交通事故死亡案例中，与其他哀悼者群体相比，哀悼者报告了更高的心理困扰以及对逝者的过度关注。此外，心理困扰在死亡原因与PTG之间的关联中起中介作用。研究结果强调了各哀悼者群体之间的差异。
