This study tested a psychosocial model of suicide risk in a sample of 156 Latino college students. Specifically, depression and loneliness were hypothesized to be important predictors of suicide risk (namely, hopelessness and suicidal behaviors) in Latino students. Results of conducting regression analyses indicated that, independent of age and gender, depression and loneliness were significant predictors of both indices of suicide risk examined in the present study. It is noteworthy that within the psychosocial predictor set of depression and loneliness, depression was consistently found to be nearly twice as strong a predictor than was loneliness. Moreover, we found evidence for a significant depression-loneliness interaction effect in predicting suicide risk. That is, the highest level of suicide risk was found among dysphoric Latino students who were also socially isolated. Our findings indicate that depression and loneliness are important factors to consider in understanding suicide risk among Latino college students.
本研究在156名拉丁裔大学生样本中检验了自杀风险的心理社会模型。具体而言,研究假设抑郁和孤独是拉丁裔学生自杀风险(即绝望和自杀行为)的重要预测因素。进行回归分析的结果表明,独立于年龄和性别,抑郁和孤独是本研究中所考察的两种自杀风险指标的显著预测因素。值得注意的是,在抑郁和孤独这一心理社会预测因素组中,始终发现抑郁作为预测因素的影响力几乎是孤独的两倍。此外,我们发现有证据表明在预测自杀风险方面存在显著的抑郁 - 孤独交互效应。也就是说,在情绪烦躁且社交孤立的拉丁裔学生中发现了最高水平的自杀风险。我们的研究结果表明,抑郁和孤独是理解拉丁裔大学生自杀风险时需要考虑的重要因素。
