Sammanfattning	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.	The Grief Experience Questionnaire (GEQ) is a multidimensional measure developed by Barrett and Schneweis in 1980 to assess the breadth of emotional, cognitive, and existential experiences reported by bereaved individuals. Rather than focusing on pathology or symptom severity, the GEQ captures the diverse phenomenology of grief—including yearning, social withdrawal, guilt, anger, disorientation, and existential questioning—providing a comprehensive portrait of the grief experience.
