Attentional bias in complicated grief
Abstract
Background Complicated Grief (CG) is a debilitating potential consequence of bereavement. Despite the significant health costs associated with CG, relatively little is known about the cognitive processes associated with the condition. This study investigated information processing in CG.Method Twenty four individuals with CG and 25 bereaved individuals without CG completed a modified emotional Stroop task in which they were presented with death-related and neutral cue words. Half of the participants were also given instructions to suppress thoughts of their loved one's death while completing the task.Results CG participants were slower to color name death-related words than No-CG participants, and were slower to color name death-related words than neutral words. This pattern of findings suggests an attentional bias towards loss-related events.Conclusions This study represents the first demonstration of an information bias within CG. Consistent with cognitive models of CG, it is possible that dysphoric mood and preoccupation with the loss are maintained by selectively attending to reminders of the loss.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
