Σύνοψη	The Disenfranchised Grief Scale (DGS), developed from Kenneth J. Doka's conceptual framework, assesses grief that society does not recognize, validate, or support—grief that is excluded from public mourning rituals, openly acknowledged grief ceremonies, or institutional support. Examples include loss of a former spouse, affair partner, ex-partner, friend (not family), pet, or pregnancy loss. The DGS captures the unique burden of grieving without social permission or recognition.	The Adult Attitude to Grief Scale (AAG) is a measure assessing individual beliefs, attitudes, and values regarding grief and bereavement. Developed by Richard K. Barrett, the AAG captures how adults conceptualize grief—including beliefs about whether grief is acceptable, whether emotions should be expressed, whether seeking help is appropriate, and whether personal growth can emerge from loss. By measuring grief-related attitudes, the AAG provides insight into psychological readiness for adaptive bereavement.
