Abstract

We administered Grief Response Scale (GRS), Japanese translation of "Core Bereavement Items," and a set of newly developed coping　behavior items (Scale for Coping with　Bereavement; SCB) to 48 fathers and 127　mothers who experienced the loss of a child within several years. Although a confirmatory factor analysis of GRS did not support the original seven-factor model by Burnett et al., an exploratory factor analysis yielded four factors: lmage and sorrow, Sense of presence， Non-resolution and conflict, and Resolution of grief. Grief reaction was significantly greater in mothers than in fathers. An exploratory factor analysis of SCB produced five factors: Distraction, Ruminative response, A cceptance and overcome, Support-seeking behavior, and Religious activity and existential meaning. As compared to fathers, mothers ruminated, sought support from others, and had religious activity more frequently. These results suggest that different aspects of grief were related with coping with bereavement after controlling for age, sex, income, and level of manifest anxiety.
