The Underlying Structure of Grief: A Taxometric Investigation of Prolonged and Normal Reactions to Loss (2009, background): “In one study, the ICG-R was found to distinguish between those bereaved by violent and nonviolent means more sensitively than the Core Bereavement Items (Burnett et al. 1997), suggesting that the ICG-R might in fact measure unique symptoms exhibited by at— risk grievers (Currier et al. 2008a).”
Complicated Grief and the Quest for Meaning: A Constructivist Contribution (2006, result): “The size of the sample in the Currier et al. (2006) study permits a test of this prediction in the form of comparing the shapes of the distributions for ICG and CBI scores obtained by participants in our study.”
Meaning Reconstruction in the First Two Years of Bereavement: The Role of Sense-Making and Benefit-Finding (2006, result): “Consistent with other work (Currier et al., 2006; Davis et al., 1998; Davis, Wortman, Lehman, & Silver, 2000; Neimeyer, 1998, 2001), the present results suggest that bereaved persons who find a measure of meaning in the loss experience seem to fare better in the grieving process.”
