Abstract

This study compared differences in the levels of depression among three study groups of widows as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory and the Depression Adjective Checklist Form E and differences in the levels of socialization among the same three study groups as measured by the Revised Social Adjustment Scale. Levels of depression and socialization of each subject in the three study groups were measured at jive different testing intervals: at intake; at six weeks, after two of the three study groups received a group intervention, either bereavement crisis intervention or intervention consisting of group social activities; and at 3‐month, 9‐month and 12‐month intervals. The bereavement crisis intervention produced an initial drop in depression and increased social activity, which then stabilized. The three groups differed significantly; the group‐time interaction was also significant.

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.
