The defeat-entrapment theory has been proposed to explain both depression and suicidal behavior.
Measures of defeat, entrapment, hopelessness and depression were administered to Iranian and American students.
Scores on measures of hopelessness, defeat, entrapment and depression were strongly associated. In both nations, scores for defeat and entrapment were stronger predictors of past suicidal ideation and attempted suicide. Overall, the Iranian respondents had higher scores on the measures of defeat, entrapment, hopelessness and depression, but less often reported prior suicidal ideation.
The defeat-entrapment theory of depression and suicidal behavior appears to have validity in both Iran and America.
失败—困厄理论被提出，用以解释抑郁和自杀行为。
向伊朗和美国学生发放了关于失败、困厄、绝望和抑郁的量表。
绝望、失败、困厄和抑郁量表的得分高度相关。在两个国家，失败和困厄得分都是自杀意念和自杀未遂的更强预测因素。总的来说，伊朗被试在失败、困厄、绝望和抑郁量表上的得分更高，但之前报告自杀意念的情况较少。
抑郁和自杀行为的失败—困厄理论似乎在伊朗和美国都具有有效性。
