This article describes the development of scales to assess grief and anger in widowhood and divorce. Widows have significantly higher grief scores than do divorcees, but the two groups do not differ in the degree of anger they report. Grief and anger scores are higher for widows and divorcees with social and psychological vulnerabilities and demographic characteristics that have been hypothesized as making them at greater risk for difficulties in adjustment. The data are from age, race, and census tract of residence-matched samples of widows and divorcees interviewed approximately 3 months after the death of or filing for divorce from their spouses.
本文描述了用于评估丧偶和离婚后悲伤与愤怒情绪的量表的编制情况。寡妇的悲伤得分显著高于离婚女性，但两组在报告的愤怒程度上并无差异。对于那些存在社会和心理脆弱性以及具有某些人口统计学特征（这些特征被认为会使她们在适应过程中面临更大困难风险）的寡妇和离婚女性来说，她们的悲伤和愤怒得分更高。数据来自年龄、种族以及居住普查区相匹配的寡妇和离婚女性样本，这些样本是在她们的配偶去世或提出离婚申请约3个月后接受访谈的。
