To determine whether actual responses of potential comforters in the community differ according to cause of death, 83 college students participated in a structured, individual interview. They were asked demographic questions about themselves, the bereaved, and the deceased, and then about various aspects of how they, and others in the community, responded to the death. Students were grouped by their reports of the cause of death (suicide, homicide, accident, natural anticipated death, or natural unanticipated death). When the death was by suicide or homicide, others were perceived as relatively less supportive of the bereaved person. When the death was by suicide, respondents themselves tended more to blame the bereaved person. When the death was by homicide, the bereaved person was perceived as reacting relatively worse. Potential comforters were relatively more shocked when the death was by homicide or accident.
为了确定社区中潜在安慰者的实际反应是否因死因不同而有所差异，83名大学生参与了一次结构化的个人访谈。他们被问及有关自己、死者家属和逝者的人口统计学问题，然后又被问及他们自己以及社区中的其他人对死亡的各种反应。学生们根据他们所报告的死因（自杀、他杀、意外、自然预期死亡或自然意外死亡）进行分组。当死因是自杀或他杀时，其他人对死者家属的支持相对较少。当死因是自杀时，受访者自己更倾向于责备死者家属。当死因是他杀时，死者家属被认为反应相对更糟糕。当死因是他杀或意外时，潜在安慰者相对更震惊。
