abstract="Researchers have long recognized neuroticism as a risk factor for complicated grief. However, the mediating influences of school belongingness and negative religious coping have not been examined. To explore these connections, adolescents from two high schools and a choir group were recruited to complete a brief survey. Data from 99 students revealed that both factors independently partially mediated the impact of neuroticism on persistent complex bereavement symptoms. <br><br>FINDINGS suggest that social isolation and spiritual struggles contribute adversely to the grief of some emotionally sensitive students. The results also support the efficacy of a biopsychosocial-spiritual approach to studying adolescent grief.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
