Investigating the Effects of Value-Affirmation on Cardiovascular Reactivity in a Grieving Population
Investigating the Effects of Value-Affirmation on Cardiovascular Reactivity in a Grieving Population
This study is being carried out by Kaiyuan "Oke" Luo, B.S.
Roughly one-third of older individuals reported experiencing severe grief after loss, often accompanied by psychological symptoms such as depression and anxiety. Since the Self-affirmation theory proposes that an individual’s stress can be relieved by their own recognition of their self-worth and values which means it could potentially lessen individuals’ grief responses, this study has been designed to address gaps in research on the effectiveness and mechanisms of Self Affirmation in mitigating grief, as well as on how Self Affirmation interventions influence cardiovascular responses to grief in young adults. This study examines the hypotheses through a cardiovascular psychophysiology lense.
