Abstract

Fifty-seven undergraduate college students who had lost a family member, a close friend or a life partner/spouse in the last 1 to 5 years completed online the Inventory of Complicated Grief-Revised (Prigerson et al., 1995), the Attitude and Belief Scale (Romanian version – Macavei, 2002), the Grief Cognitions Questionnaire (Boelen & Lensvelt-Mulders, 2005) and the Autobiographical Memory Test (Williams & Broadbent, 1986). Results show significant correlations between irrational cognitions, autobiographical memory, coping strategies and complicated grief. Also, autobiographical memory specificity emerged as a significant predictor of complicated grief symptoms. Implications of these findings are discussed.
