Summary
This study looks at how recalling a loved one's death affects young adults' heart rate and blood pressure, and whether a brief self-affirmation exercise can help their bodies recover faster. Researchers will measure cardiovascular responses in 140 grieving participants during a grief recall task. The goal is to understand if boosting self-worth can buffer the physical stress of grief.
