Although impulsiveness has been recognized as a risk factor for suicide, few studies have explored how to protect offenders with impulsiveness from the risk of suicide. This study aims to examine the relationships among impulsiveness, suicide risk, regulatory emotional self-efficacy (RESE), and flourishing, focusing on the moderating effects of RESE and flourishing in the relationship between impulsiveness and suicide risk.
This is a cross-sectional study of 941 male offenders. All participants were requested to provide some items of demographic information and to complete a package of self-reported questionnaires measuring impulsiveness, suicide risk, RESE, and flourishing.
The results indicate that impulsiveness is positively correlated with suicide risk, while RESE and flourishing are negatively correlated with impulsiveness and suicide risk. Most importantly, both RESE and its dimension managing negative affect (NEG) negatively moderate the relationship between impulsiveness and suicide risk. Flourishing and the RESE dimension expressing positive affect (POS) show no significant moderating effect on impulsiveness-suicide risk link.
Regulatory emotional self-efficacy, especially its NEG dimension, can buffer the impact of impulsiveness on suicide risk in male offenders, indicating that these factors might be useful supplements in suicide prevention.
Offender with higher level of RESE and flourishing show lower level of impulsiveness and suicide risk. High level of RESE and its NEG dimension can buffer the effect of impulsiveness on suicide risk. RESE, especially its NEG dimension might be a useful supplement for suicide prevention in offenders with high impulsiveness.
虽然冲动已被认为是自杀的一个风险因素，但很少有研究探讨如何保护具有冲动性的罪犯免受自杀风险的影响。本研究旨在探讨冲动、自杀风险、情绪调节自我效能感（RESE）和繁荣之间的关系，重点关注 RESE 和繁荣在冲动与自杀风险之间关系中的调节作用。
这是一项对 941 名男性罪犯的横断面研究。要求所有参与者提供一些人口统计学信息，并完成一套自我报告的问卷，测量冲动、自杀风险、RESE 和繁荣。
结果表明，冲动与自杀风险呈正相关，而 RESE 和繁荣与冲动和自杀风险呈负相关。最重要的是，RESE 及其管理消极情绪（NEG）维度都对冲动与自杀风险之间的关系产生负向的调节作用。繁荣和 RESE 维度表达积极情绪（POS）对冲动-自杀风险关系没有显著的调节作用。
情绪调节自我效能感，特别是其 NEG 维度，可以缓冲男性罪犯中冲动对自杀风险的影响，表明这些因素可能是自杀预防的有用补充。
RESE 和繁荣水平较高的罪犯表现出较低的冲动性和自杀风险。高水平的 RESE 及其 NEG 维度可以缓冲冲动对自杀风险的影响。RESE，特别是其 NEG 维度，可能是对具有高冲动性罪犯进行自杀预防的有用补充。
