Parental death in childhood: Perceived vulnerability, and adult depression and anxiety.

Abstract

College students who had experienced the death of a parent during their childhoods perceived themselves as more vulnerable to future losses than did a nonbereaved control group. Perceived vulnerability to loss was identified as a better predictor of adult anxiety and depression than was the early loss itself. Perceived vulnerability to loss is thus implicated in the development of adult psychopathology associated with early loss.
