AnnotationThis study reports on peer-led groups for recently bereaved widowed participants, focusing on topics relevant to being recently widowed. Findings support the differentiation between domain-specific state and trait locus of control. As greater internal locus of control reduces depression, so domain-specific state internality will relate to reduce psychological distress.
