The current study examined the relationship between Physician Assisted Suicide (PAS) attitudes and interpersonal risk factors of suicidal desire as outlined by the interpersonal-psychological theory of suicidal behavior (Joiner, 2005). It was hypothesized that both thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness would be positively related to PAS acceptance. Results indicated that thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness predicted significance of favorable attitudes toward PAS in a college sample. Results suggest that attitudes toward PAS may be influenced by the experience of thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness and provide a clear rationale for the study of these variables in populations more apt to consider hastened death. Future work regarding the application of the interpersonal-psychological theory of suicidal behavior in hastened death research is discussed.
本研究考察了医生协助自杀(PAS)态度与自杀行为的人际-心理理论(Joiner,2005)中所概述的人际风险因素之间的关系。研究假设被挫败的归属感和感知负担会与 PAS 接受呈正相关。结果表明,在大学生样本中,被挫败的归属感和感知负担预测了对 PAS 的有利态度的重要性。结果表明,PAS 的态度可能受到被挫败的归属感和感知负担的影响,并为在更倾向于考虑加速死亡的人群中研究这些变量提供了明确的理由。讨论了在加速死亡研究中应用自杀行为的人际-心理理论的未来工作。
