  1. FLZ - life satisfaction questionnaire; SVF - questionnaire for coping strategies; TF - grief questionnaire, LEBE - questionnaire for purpose and meaning in life. Levene Test for equality of error variances was never significant. The effect of the covariate ‘time since event’ was only significant for life satisfaction. η2p = partial eta squared, effect size are mostly small (<.06) and in one case medium (<.14) based on benchmarks suggested by Cohen [50]
