This study examined whether three facets of impulsivity previously shown to be associated with suicidal ideation and attempts (negative urgency, lack of premeditation, and lack of perseverance) help to account for the established association between problem solving deficits and suicidal ideation.
Emerging adult college student drinkers with a history of at least passive suicidal ideation (N = 387) completed measures of problem solving, impulsivity, and suicidal ideation. A path analysis was conducted to examine the mediating role of impulsivity variables in the association between problem solving (rational problem solving, positive and negative problem orientation, and avoidance style) and suicidal ideation.
Direct and indirect associations through impulsivity, particularly negative urgency, were found between problem solving and severity of suicidal ideation.
Interventions aimed at teaching problem solving skills, as well as self-efficacy and optimism for solving life problems, may help to reduce impulsivity and suicidal ideation.
本研究考察了先前与自杀意念和自杀企图相关的冲动的三个方面(负性冲动、缺乏深思熟虑和缺乏毅力)是否有助于解释解决问题缺陷与自杀意念之间已确立的关联。
有过至少被动自杀意念史的成年大学生饮酒者(N=387)完成了问题解决、冲动和自杀意念的测量。进行了路径分析,以检验冲动变量在解决问题(理性问题解决、积极和消极问题取向以及回避风格)与自杀意念之间的关联中的中介作用。
冲动,特别是负性冲动,在解决问题与自杀意念严重程度之间存在直接和间接的关联。
旨在教授问题解决技能以及解决生活问题的自我效能感和乐观态度的干预措施,可能有助于减少冲动和自杀意念。
