Affective bonds of adult children with living versus deceased parents

Article Abstract:

A study of bonds with living versus deceased parents assessed Israeli adult children's relations with mother and father. Bond intensity was not lower for deceased than for living parents, contrary to the hypothesis, but bond evaluation was higher for mother and father when both were deceased, indicating a developmental trajectory where affective bonds transcend parental death and normative mourning.
