Fear of negative evaluation (FNE) is a key trait of social anxiety and has been linked to isolation and low self-esteem. Impulsivity has been shown to amplify the risk of socially anxious individuals engaging in risky behaviors such as suicidal behaviors; yet little research has examined associations between FNE and suicidality or the relationship between FNE and impulsivity. This study tested whether FNE was associated with suicidal ideation in a sample of 1,816 college students from 10 universities. Analyses also examined whether impulsivity-like traits moderated the relationship between FNE and suicidal ideation. Results showed that FNE was significantly associated with suicidal ideation and the positive association between FNE and suicidal ideation was strongest among individuals with higher negative urgency and lower perseverance. These findings highlight FNE as an important risk factor of suicidal ideation in college students and illuminates potential influence of impulsivity on this relationship.
对负面评价的恐惧（Fear of negative evaluation，FNE）是社交焦虑的一个关键特征，与孤立和低自尊有关。冲动性已被证明会增加社交焦虑个体从事冒险行为（如自杀行为）的风险；然而，很少有研究探讨 FNE 与自杀意念之间的关联，或 FNE 与冲动性之间的关系。本研究在来自 10 所大学的 1816 名大学生样本中测试了 FNE 是否与自杀意念有关。分析还检验了冲动样特质是否调节了 FNE 与自杀意念之间的关系。结果表明，FNE 与自杀意念显著相关，并且 FNE 与自杀意念之间的正相关在负性冲动性较高和坚韧性较低的个体中最强。这些发现突出了 FNE 作为大学生自杀意念的一个重要危险因素，并说明了冲动性对这种关系的潜在影响。
