Abstract: | The effect of gender role on coping with conjugal bereavement was studied in 44 Norwegian widows. A "traditional" and a "modern" feminine gender role were juxtaposed. Information was collected by two semi-structured interviews concerning coping with bereavement, and by a health inventory (UHI). The information was analysed qualitatively in relation to central elements in the coping process (appraisals, problems, coping strategies, self-evaluations of coping, future expectancies of coping, and relevance of external resources). The findings revealed considerable differences in coping between the two gender roles, favouring the modern feminine gender role. |
