Meaning in life, attitude towards death, and general self-efficacy in hospice volunteers and non-volunteers
Positive experiences in the parent–child relationship during the Covid ‐19 lockdown in Poland
Despite the impact of the COVID‐19 outbreak being largely negative on parents and children, for some families, lockdown could also bring about some positive effects, for example, increased emotional closeness, and more time for joint activity. The aim of the current study was to investigate cross‐sectionally the most important correlates of the positive experiences in the parent–child relationship among Polish mothers and fathers during the lockd…
The Quality of Interpersonal Relationships, Intrusive and Deliberate Rumination and Adjustment to the Death of a Spouse
The aim of the presented study was to gain a better understanding of relationships between the pre-loss quality of marriage, global attachment style, rumination, the severity of complicated grief and the level of posttraumatic growth among widowed individuals. After the researchers obtained the consent of the ethics board to conduct the study, they examined widowed individuals ( n = 152) using the Experiences in Close Relationships - Revised, the…

Risk of Developing Post-traumatic Stress Disorder in Severe Covid-19 Survivors, Their Families and Frontline Healthcare Workers
Given the high mortality of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), having severe COVID-19 may be a life-threatening event, especially for individuals at high risk of complications. Therefore, in the article we try to answer two questions that are relevant to public mental health: Can we define groups who are at higher risk of developing pandemic-related PTSD? How can health specialists prepare for it? Given the results of previous research on P…
Polish adaptation of the quality of relationships inventory—Bereavement version
We examined the psychometric properties of the Polish version of the Quality of Relationships Inventory-Bereavement Version (QRI-B) in a sample of 241 persons bereaved after the death of a family member from 0.5 to 8 years ( M = 3.36, SD = 2.02) before the survey. A good fit of the original two-factor (Closeness and Conflict) model of the QRI-B was determined by confirmatory factor analysis. Cronbach's alpha was .91 for Closeness and .84 for Conf…
Concrete and symbolic continuing bonds with a deceased person
Based on the research on continuing bonds (CB) with a deceased person to date, the reports of clinicians, and the contemporary theory of attachment, two dimensions of CB were distinguished: (i) a concrete CB, essentially characteristic of unresolved and prolonged grief, and (ii) a symbolic CB, specific to grief resolution. The psychometric properties of the Continuing Bonds Scale (CBS) were examined in a sample of persons from Poland ( N = 244) b…
Does Psychosocial Ego Development Partially Mediate the Association Between Defense Mechanisms and Death Attitude
Some authors suggest the existence of links between the mechanisms of defense and attitude toward death, however, mechanisms underlying these relationships are not well understood. The objective of the present research was to investigate whether psychosocial ego development is a partial mediator in the association between mechanisms of defense and death attitude. The study included participants (N = 382) aged 19-85 (M = 47.02, SD = 16.19). Three …
Attitude Toward Death From the Perspective of Erik Erikson’s Theory of Psychosocial Ego Development
The aim of the article is to design a conceptual framework within the theory of psychosocial ego development that will allow for a better understanding and explanation of attitude toward death in the life cycle. The main weaknesses of previous studies on death attitude were examined; Erikson's concept may help exceed these limitations. The use of the model of hierarchy of defense mechanisms to study death attitude within Erikson's theory was prop…
Relations between multidimensional attitude toward death and psychological distress in firefighters
To investigate firefighters' multidimensional attitude toward death and psychological distress, 60 firefighters completed the Death Attitude Profile-Revised and the General Health Questionnaire-28. As predicted, fear of death and escape acceptance were positively related to severe depression and anxiety/insomnia. However, contrary to predictions, neutral acceptance and death avoidance were not associated with psychological distress. Our results i…
Wisdom as the Mediator in the Relationships Between Meaning in Life and Attitude Toward Death
The goal of the presented research was to investigate if wisdom plays a mediating role in the relationships between meaning in life and the attitude toward death in the period of middle and late adulthood. A study was carried out that included 567 persons aged 40 to 75 years. Three measures were used: Personal Meaning Profile, Three-Dimensional Wisdom Scale, and Death Attitude Profile-Revised. The conducted analyses allowed the authors to confirm…
Wisdom as the mediator in the relationships between religious meaning system and attitude toward death among older adults
The objective of the present research was to investigate whether wisdom is a mediator in the association between the religious meaning system and the attitude toward death in the period of late adulthood. The study included 315 persons aged 60-75. Three measures were used: Religious Meaning System Scale (RMSS), Three-Dimensional Wisdom Scale (3D-WS), Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R). The analyses allowed for a partial verification of the hy…
Polish Adaptation of the Death Attitude Profile—Revised
The article presents the results of work on the Polish adaptation of the Death Attitude Profile-Revised by Wong, Reker, and Gesser (1994). The psychometric properties of the Polish version of the tool have been described. The results are consistent with the original version of the questionnaire and confirm that the Polish version of Death Attitude Profile-Revised fulfils the psychometric requirements for psychological tests and, as a result, can …
