Abstract
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to develop the mourning scale for adults who experienced loss of an important figure. Reviews of previous studies on the mourning indicated that three-factor solution is appropriate to measure the construct. Preliminary testing items were developed based on the definition suggested in the previous research on mourning. The content validity was evaluated by expert panels and 31 items were constructed. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted in order to validate the construct validity. Correlation analyses with measures of post-traumatic scale and depression scale were employed in order to evaluate convergent and discriminant validity of the measure. The results showed the appropriate levels of construct, convergent, and discriminant validity.
