title: Ethnicity and the grief response: Mexican American versus Anglo American college students.
abstract: 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.
