Alcohol dependents have high percentage of nonfatal suicidal behaviors. There is no substantial data on anger and personality correlates of suicidal behaviors among alcohol users. The present work explored the relationship of anger and personality with suicidal behaviors among alcohol-dependent individuals.
Sociodemographic data sheet, State Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI), and Neo Five-Factor Inventory (NFFI) were administered on 30 subjects who had lifetime history of suicidal attempt.
A total of 80% attempted suicide in the intoxicated states, 56.7% were high on trait anger, and 60% were high on anger expression outward. A significant negative correlation was found between expressing feelings (verbally/physically) openness, conscientiousness, and agreeableness. A significant positive correlation was found between anger expression inward and neuroticism.
It helped in understanding the psychological variables associated with suicidal behavior among alcohol-dependent individuals and has implications for addressing neuroticism openness, conscientiousness, and agreeableness for bringing change in anger expression.
酒精依赖者非致命自杀行为的比例很高。目前尚无关于酒精使用者自杀行为与愤怒及人格相关性的大量数据。本研究探讨了酒精依赖个体中愤怒和人格与自杀行为的关系。
对30名有过自杀未遂终生史的受试者进行社会人口数据表、状态-特质愤怒表达量表（STAXI）和大五人格量表（NFFI）测评。
共有80%的人在醉酒状态下试图自杀，56.7%的人特质愤怒水平较高，60%的人外向愤怒表达水平较高。在情感表达（言语/身体）开放性、尽责性和宜人性之间发现显著负相关。在内向愤怒表达和神经质之间发现显著正相关。
这有助于理解酒精依赖个体中与自杀行为相关的心理变量，并对解决神经质、开放性、尽责性和宜人性问题以改变愤怒表达具有启示意义。
