Identity continuity and loss after death, divorce, and job loss
- Papa, A., & Lancaster, N. (2016). Identity continuity and loss after death, divorce, and job loss. Self and Identity, 15(1), 47-61. http://doi.org/10.1080/15298868.2015.1079551
- Experiences of loss are known to affect one's sense of self, yet how one's identity is related to loss and the implications for the experience of grief are not well understood. Therefore, connections between loss, identity construal (different ways people think about their sense of self), and balance of identity construal on grief intensity were explored across three types of losses; death of a family member (bereavement), job loss, or divorce.
