Abstract：
Bereavement is a commonly experienced grief event; however, bereavement can also trigger a number of psychological consequences, such as prolonged grief disorder (PGD). At present, the differences in prolonged grief disorder symptoms (PGD symptoms) among various individuals and how those symptoms relate to cognitive variables are unclear. In the present study, 817 Chinese college students with bereavement experience were selected as participants. Based on the evaluation results of their irrational beliefs, bereavement-related irrational beliefs, basic world assumptions, and PGD symptoms, an individual-centered latent profile analysis was used to divide a group with PGD symptoms into several subgroups and comprehensively examine the relationships between these subgroups and cognitive variables. (1) The severity of PGD symptoms among Chinese college students can be categorized into three subgroups: mild, moderate, and severe. (2) Cognitive variables such as irrational beliefs and basic world assumptions were all found to correlate with the severity of PGD symptoms; bereavement-related irrational beliefs was the variable with the largest correlation. However, for the first time, this study found that different dimensions of basic world assumptions had different directions of correlation, based on the severity of the PGD symptoms. Justice, control, randomness, and self-control had significantly positive correlations. Conversely, benevolence of the world, benevolence of people, and worthiness of the self had significantly negative correlations. These results have important reference value for cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) treatment and interventions for PGD issues in Chinese college students.
摘要：
丧亲是一种常见的悲伤事件；但是，丧亲也会引发一些心理后果，如长期悲伤障碍（PGD）。目前,不同个体之间长期悲伤障碍症状(PGD症状)的差异以及这些症状与认知变量的关系尚不清楚.在本研究中,选取有丧亲经历的817名中国大学生作为参与者。根据对他们非理性信念的评价结果，与丧亲有关的非理性信仰，基本的世界假设，和PGD症状，我们采用以个体为中心的潜在谱分析方法,将有PGD症状的人群分为几个亚组,并全面检查这些亚组与认知变量之间的关系.（1）中国大学生PGD症状的严重程度可以分为三个亚组：轻度，中度,和严重。（2）非理性信念和基本世界假设等认知变量均与PGD症状的严重程度相关；与丧亲相关的非理性信念是相关性最大的变量。然而,第一次,本研究发现，基本世界假设的不同维度具有不同的相关性，根据PGD症状的严重程度。正义,control,随机性，与自我控制呈显著正相关。相反，世界的仁慈，人民的仁慈，与自我价值呈显著负相关。研究结果对认知行为疗法(CBT)治疗和干预中国大学生PGD问题具有重要的参考价值。
