he article I selected is one titled “Parents Grieving the Loss of Their Child”: from the 2008 issue of the British Journal of Psychology, “Interdependence in Coping,” (Stroebe & Schut 2008).
This article is a report of new research which uses a longitudinal study among bereaved parents, to examine relationships between parents own and their partners’ way of coping and psychological adjustments after the death of their child. There were 219 couples evaluated at 6, 13, and 20 months following the death of their child. Parents were asked to fill out questionnaires separately at all three stages. These questionnaires asked about biographical data for the parents, biographical data about the child and a circumstance surrounding the loss of the child was gathering during the 6 month interview. The articles purpose is to evaluate whether one parent’s way of coping on dealing with the death of a child is influenced by the others parent’s way of coping or dealing with the loss of a child. To do this, couples were contacted using obituary notices and follow up phone calls to ask to participate in the study.
No parents that were grandparents or single parents were included. Researchers used the Dual Coping Inventory (DCI), a newly constructed coping line, to measure coping in the loss. The DCI measured loss-oriented scale consisted of three questions that focused on losing their child where the restoration oriental coping scale consisted of four questions focused on moving forward. The dependent variables depression and guide reactions were transformed to a scale of 0-100 to accommodate the comparison between predictive value of depression and grief, with 0 being the lowest score. The Actor Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) was used to analyze the individual parent effect, the partner effect and any interactions if possible. In this study the action effect estimates the influence that an actor’s own score in the independent variable like restoration-oriented coping, has on the individual outcome measure, like depression, and the partner estimates the effect that the partner’s scores have on the actor’s outcome. This study focused on bereavement specific coping strategies instead of general coping strategies used in prier research.

The findings show that the adjustment process for men in related to their own coping strategies as well the coping strategies of their wife. If the wife was focused on rebuilding their lives, after the loss of a child, the husband has less depression and grief. For women, their husbands’ coping strategy did not influence their way of coping with grief and depression which may be due to the fact that women were more loss-oriented and loss-oriented coping does not need to involve anyone else. Partner involvement may be important in restoration-oriented coping because it may prove difficult for one partner to rebuild while the other is focused on loss and unwilling to look toward the future. This article fits into the overall field of psychology because it studies and evaluates human behavior. This article looks at a target group of couples who have suffered the loss of a child in hopes of finding out if and how they adjust or cope 6, 13, and 20 months after their loss. This article also looks at how one spouse adjust in relation to how the other spouse is dealing with the situation.

Although an article from each type of publication may contain useful and factual information, this article is based on documented research that can be verified. Magazine articles and newspapers may describe a study or research project while scholarly journals contain original research. Magazine and newspapers are intended for the general public, while journal articles are for professional, scholars, and students. Magazine and newspaper are produced more frequently, the language is simple, they may contain advertisement and don’t normally have a bibliography like journal articles. When writing articles for a newspaper or magazine the author does not have to be a member of the field they are writing about but this is usually not the case when writing an article for a journal. Articles for a magazine or newspaper are usually considerably shorter than a journal article. This article was published by a scholarly association while articles in non-scholarly periodicals are usually published by corporations.
