Research has shown that the use of maladaptive coping strategies and difficulties in regulating mood are linked to increasing risk of suicide. This study measured the impact of coping and emotion regulation on suicidal behavior in a sample of Asian students. The aim was to determine whether different coping strategies and methods of expressive suppression and cognitive reappraisal would be associated with suicidal behavior. One hundred and twenty undergraduate students were recruited from The Open University in Hong Kong and all completed questionnaires that measured coping, emotional regulation, and suicidal behavior. The results showed that increased avoidance coping was associated with increased suicidal behavior, whereas increased cognitive reappraisal was associated with reduced risk of suicidal behavior. Specifically, in an Asian student population, avoidance coping appears to be a risk factor for suicide, while cognitive reappraisal may be seen as a positive, protecting strategy.
研究表明，使用适应不良的应对策略以及情绪调节困难与自杀风险增加有关。本研究测量了应对方式和情绪调节对一组亚洲学生自杀行为的影响。目的是确定不同的应对策略以及表达抑制和认知重评方法是否与自杀行为相关。从香港公开大学招募了120名本科生，他们都完成了测量应对方式、情绪调节和自杀行为的问卷。结果显示，回避应对增加与自杀行为增加相关，而认知重评增加与自杀风险降低相关。具体而言，在亚洲学生群体中，回避应对似乎是自杀的一个风险因素，而认知重评可被视为一种积极的保护策略。
