Insecure attachment and the personality dimensions of self-criticism and dependency have been proposed as risk factors for suicide in adolescents. The present study examines whether self-criticism and dependency mediate the relationship between insecure attachment styles and suicidality. A sample of 340 high-school students (73.2% females), ranging in age from 13 to 20 years (M = 16.47, SD = 1.52), completed the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire for Adolescents, the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire for Adolescents, the Attachment Style Questionnaire, and the Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised. The results partially support the expected mediation effects. Self-criticism, but not dependency, mediates the link between insecure attachment (anxiety and avoidance) and suicide-related behaviors. Implications for suicide risk assessment and management are discussed.
不安全依恋以及自我批评和依赖的人格维度已被提出是青少年自杀的风险因素。本研究考察自我批评和依赖是否介导了不安全依恋风格与自杀倾向之间的关系。340名高中生(73.2%为女性)参与了研究,年龄在13至20岁之间(M = 16.47,SD = 1.52),他们完成了青少年抑郁体验问卷、依恋风格问卷和自杀行为问卷修订版。结果部分支持了预期的中介效应。自我批评而非依赖介导了不安全依恋(焦虑和回避)与自杀相关行为之间的联系。文中还讨论了对自杀风险评估和管理的启示。
