The aim of this study was to study suicide risk in subjects exposed to mobbing, that is, systematic psychological harassment in the workplace. Such psychological harassment, unique to the workplace, threatens both the emotional well-being and professional ability of its victims. The items of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) that assess suicide risk were studied in 102 individuals who were exposed to mobbing. The results indicated that individuals exposed to mobbing had clear differences on the MMPI-2 from normative samples. In addition, those who appeared to be at risk for suicide differed in their scores from those not at risk. Implications for psychopathology and suicide preventions are discussed.
本研究的目的是探讨遭受职场欺凌(即在工作场所遭受的系统性心理骚扰)的个体的自杀风险。这种工作场所特有的心理骚扰,会对受害者的情绪健康和职业能力构成威胁。对102名遭受职场欺凌的个体进行了明尼苏达多相人格调查表第二版(MMPI-2)中评估自杀风险的项目研究。结果表明,遭受职场欺凌的个体在MMPI-2上与常模样本存在明显差异。此外,有自杀风险的个体与无自杀风险的个体在得分上也有所不同。文中还讨论了对精神病理学和自杀预防的启示。
