Abstract: This study aimed to explore the mediating role of external bond on the relationship between inclusion of others in self and prolonged grief, secondarily on the moderating role of age among the relationship. A total 147 subjects in Beijing were tested with the Prolonged Grief-13, Inclusion of Other in the Self scale and Continuing Bond scale. The results demonstrated that : (1) Prolonged grief was significantly negatively correlated with family economic level; (2) Prolonged grief was significantly positively correlated with inclusion of others in self and external bond; (3)The external bond plays a full mediating role in inclusion of others in self and prolonged grief; (4)The age also plays a moderating role in the mediation module of inclusion of others in self and prolonged grief. These findings suggest that the relationship between inclusion of others in self and prolonged grief were full mediated by external bond. Age would increase the correlation between inclusion of others in self and external bond, and decrease the correlation between external bond and prolonged grief. The current study may help us to a better understanding of the impact factors of prolonged grief, from a more localized perspective. It may also provide certain implications about the intervention of prolonged grief from the theoretical level.
