Both positive and negative psychological states
were assessed throughout caregiving and bereavement.
We expected high levels of negative psychological
states, given the circumstances of AIDSrelated
caregiving and bereavement. These expectations
were confirmed. For example, throughout
caregiving, participants' levels of depressive symptomatology
were typically more than one standard deviation
above the norm in the general community,
rising to two standard deviations above the norm at
the time of the ill partner's death (Folkman et al.,
1996). Among caregivers whose partners died, levels
of depressive symptoms reported during their first
seven months of bereavement were comparable to
those of bereaved spouses. At seven months following
the partner's death, mean scores for depressive
symptoms were still one standard deviation above
the general community norm
