| Abstract: |
A growing body of literature has documented the negative outcomes associated with worry. To extend this line of research, we examined why some bereaved college students with the tendency to worry experience intense grief by focusing on psychosomatic symptoms that follow a wave of emotions episode. The results demonstrated that tonic immobility is not only responsible for grief outcomes beyond somatisation, but it also explains some of the bereaved worriers' grief-related pain and dysfunction. Clinical implications and limitations of these results are discussed. |
