The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among gratitude, self-esteem, depression, and suicidal ideation. In total, 814 undergraduate participants (259 males and 555 females with mean age of 20.13 years) completed four inventories measuring the variables of interest. Analyses of structural equation modeling found that gratitude had direct effects on individuals' self-esteem, depression, and suicidal ideation. In addition, gratitude had indirect effects on individuals' suicidal ideation via self-esteem and depression, and self-esteem had direct effects on individuals' depression. These results support the proposed model of suicidal ideation and contribute to the understanding of how gratitude influences individuals' suicidal ideation via psychological and physical variables.
本研究的主要目的是考察感恩、自尊、抑郁和自杀意念之间的关系。共有814名本科参与者（259名男性和555名女性，平均年龄20.13岁）完成了四项测量相关变量的量表。结构方程模型分析发现，感恩对个体的自尊、抑郁和自杀意念有直接影响。此外，感恩通过自尊和抑郁对个体的自杀意念有间接影响，且自尊对个体的抑郁有直接影响。这些结果支持了所提出的自杀意念模型，并有助于理解感恩如何通过心理和生理变量影响个体的自杀意念。
