  Level D Theory

  Supports the claim that the model describes oscillation between loss-oriented and restoration-oriented coping, including respite from grieving, as adaptive, and that it was proposed in response to criticism of the grief work hypothesis. A model with discussed but not pooled empirical support.

  Level D Theory

  Supports the claim that whether continuing or relinquishing bonds is adaptive remained unclear in the literature and that an attachment-based model was proposed to predict when bonds help. Theory, not a test.

  Level D Review

  Supports the conceptual claim that rituals have been proposed to regulate emotions, performance goal states and social connection through bottom-up and top-down processes. A framework that generates predictions, not a test of them.
