Ethnicity and the grief response: Mexican American versus Anglo American college students.
Responses of 39 Mexican American college students were compared with those of 61 Anglo students via the Grief Experience Inventory.  All participants had experienced, within the prior 2 years, the death of an individual they regarded as "close."  In comparisons of ethnic groups, significant differences were found on two scales: Loss of Control and Somatization.  The Mexican American sample had higher scores on both scales.  While significant gender-related differences were found on three scales, no interactions between ethnicity and gender were found.
