In the present study, we aim to test whether the approach or the avoidance coping skill can be a moderator between negative life events and suicide, and to test the deficient coping strain in the strain theory.
This sample comprised 392 suicide cases and 416 community living controls, aged 15-34 years, from 16 rural counties in China. An established psychological autopsy method and a case-control design were used in this study. The 48-item Coping Response Inventory evaluated the degree of coping skills of the people who died by suicide.
Results indicated that the avoidance coping skill, but not the approach coping skill, can moderate between negative life events and suicide.
The low level of the avoidance coping skill may represent a promising variable for screening for suicide risk in rural China.
在本研究中，我们旨在测试应对方式（接近应对技能或回避应对技能）是否可以作为负性生活事件与自杀之间的调节因素，并检验压力理论中应对压力不足的情况。
本样本包括来自中国16个农村县的392例自杀案例和416名社区生活对照者，年龄在15至34岁之间。本研究采用既定的心理解剖方法和病例对照设计。48项应对反应量表评估了自杀死亡者的应对技能程度。
结果表明，回避应对技能而非接近应对技能可以在负性生活事件与自杀之间起调节作用。
回避应对技能水平较低可能是筛查中国农村地区自杀风险的一个有前景的变量。
