The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to explore the phenomenon of suicide ideation among 293 Asian American college students. Guided by T. Joiner's (2005) interpersonal-psychological theory of suicidal behavior, the authors examined the relationships among perceived burdensomeness, thwarted belongingness, self-construals, and suicide ideation. Compared with thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness was a more robust predictor of suicide ideation. However, thwarted belongingness moderated the positive association between perceived burdensomeness and suicide ideation. Furthermore, interdependent self-construal and independent self-construal both weakened the link between perceived burdensomeness and suicide ideation and between thwarted belongingness and suicide ideation. The authors also conducted a qualitative analysis of participants' open-ended responses about their perceptions of why Asian American college students might consider suicide. The authors identified a core phenomenon of unfulfilled expectations as well as 2 broad themes related to this core phenomenon: unfulfilled intrapersonal expectations and unfulfilled interpersonal expectations, comprising the subthemes of (a) family, (b) relationship, (c) cultural differences, and (d) racism. These findings are discussed in terms of implications for suicide-related clinical interventions and primary prevention efforts among Asian American college students.
本混合方法研究旨在探讨 293 名亚裔美国大学生自杀意念现象。在 T. 乔伊纳（2005）的人际-心理自杀行为理论的指导下，作者研究了被感知的累赘感、归属感受挫、自我概念与自杀意念之间的关系。与归属感受挫相比，被感知的累赘感是自杀意念的更有力预测因素。然而，归属感受挫调节了被感知的累赘感与自杀意念之间的正相关关系。此外，相互依存的自我概念和独立的自我概念都削弱了被感知的累赘感与自杀意念之间以及归属感受挫与自杀意念之间的联系。作者还对参与者关于亚裔美国大学生可能考虑自杀的看法的开放式回答进行了定性分析。作者确定了一个未满足期望的核心现象，以及与这一核心现象相关的 2 个广泛主题：未满足的内在期望和未满足的人际期望，包括（a）家庭、（b）关系、（c）文化差异和（d）种族主义。这些发现讨论了在自杀相关临床干预和亚裔美国大学生一级预防工作方面的意义。
