TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - When college students grieve: new insights into the effects of loss during emerging adulthood JO - Death studies A1 - Cupit, Illene N. A1 - Wilson-Doenges, Georjeanna A1 - Barnaby, Lisa A1 - Kowalski, Danielle Zahn SP - 2123 EP - 2133 VL - 46 IS - 9 N2 - The present study used a revised online version of the College Student Bereavement Survey (the CSBS-R) to study the effects of student grief on college academics and social life. Of the 969 respondents, 408 (42%) reported grieving a relatively recent death of a person of significance in their lives. Hierarchical multiple regressions using gender, multiple deaths, closeness to the deceased, and/or social media use as independent variables revealed closeness to the deceased explaining a significant proportion of the variance of academic and social/peer experiences.

FINDINGS underscore the need for student bereavement policies, and how social media and closeness to the deceased affect the college experience.
