“…Our findings correspond to those of Chochinov et al (1999), who have shown that psychological variables can fluctuate considerably in terminally ill individuals. This heterogeneity is consistent with earlier findings in non-cancer populations that have shown a substantial range of how negative affect can fluctuate and co-vary with positive affect across persons (Brose, Voelkle, Lövdén, Lindenberger, & Schmiedek, 2015;Hülür, Hoppmann, Ram, & Gerstorf, 2015;Kuppens, Oravecz, & Tuerlinckx, 2010).
