This study examined the impact of personality, coping, and perceived closeness on help-seeking attitudes in suicide bereaved adults. Participants (n = 418; mean age = 49.50; 90% women, 89.7% Caucasian) completed measures of personality (neuroticism, extraversion, openness, conscientiousness, and agreeableness), coping, and attitudes toward seeking mental health services. Regression analyses revealed neuroticism as the strongest predictor of help-seeking attitudes. Relatively neurotic adult women bereaved by suicide may be at-risk for developing unhealthy coping styles, low stigma indifference, and more negative help-seeking attitudes.
本研究考察了个性、应对方式和感知亲密程度对自杀丧亲成年人求助态度的影响。参与者(n = 418;平均年龄 = 49.50岁;90%为女性,89.7%为白种人)完成了个性(神经质、外向性、开放性、尽责性和宜人性)、应对方式以及对寻求心理健康服务态度的测量。回归分析显示,神经质是求助态度最强的预测因素。因自杀而丧亲的相对神经质的成年女性可能有形成不健康应对方式、低耻辱感冷漠以及更消极求助态度的风险。
