| Abstract: | Prolonged grief disorder (PGD) is a mental disorder characterised by persistent distressing emotions and fixation on the deceased, often negatively impacting daily life functioning. The risk factors for PGD remain relatively understudied. However, education level and self-reflection might play a role in developing PGD. Therefore, the aim is to gain more insight into how educational level influences the chance of developing PGD symptoms, and whether self-reflection moderates this association Method: Bereaved people who lost a loved one 3 to 6 months prior to the research conducted three interviews (T1, T2, and T3). PGD symptoms were assessed in all three interviews via the Traumatic Grief Inventory – Clinically administered (TGI-CA). Education level was asked at T1. Self-reflection was assessed at T1 and T2 via the Self-reflection and insight scale (SRIS). Results: Pearson’s correlation was conducted to investigate the association between PGD symptoms and education level. A two-model moderation analysis was conducted with education level as independent variable, PGD symptoms as dependent variable, and self-reflection as moderator. The total sample size was 65. Pearson’s correlation resulted in no significant effects. The two-model moderation analysis resulted also in no significant effects. Discussion: Education level does not significantly affect PGD symptoms, and self-reflection does not moderate this relationship. Future research with a larger sample size should consider using intelligence instead of education level. |
