Given that the majority of those who die by suicide are male, masculine traits have been examined as a potential link to the development of capability for suicide. However, research has not examined if such traits influence suicidal desire (i.e., thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness). This study examined the influence of stereotypically masculine traits of stoicism, sensation seeking, physical aggression, verbal aggression, and self-reliance on all three components of the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide within a sample of male and female service members.
A total of 953 service members were recruited as part of a larger study.
Sensation seeking and stoicism were positively associated with capability for suicide. With regard to suicidal desire, self-reliance and verbal aggression were positively associated with both perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness. Stoicism was positively associated with thwarted belongingness.
Findings suggest that different masculine traits are associated with the three components of the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide in various ways. Stoicism may be an especially important masculine trait that influences a component of suicidal desire and capability for suicide.
鉴于大多数自杀身亡者为男性，因此人们研究了男性特质是否与自杀能力的发展有关。然而，研究尚未探讨此类特质是否会影响自杀意愿（即归属感缺失、感知负担过重）。本研究在男性和女性军人样本中，检验了坚忍、寻求刺激、身体攻击、言语攻击和自力更生等典型男性特质对自杀的人际关系理论的所有三个组成部分的影响。
共有 953 名军人作为更大规模研究的一部分被招募。
寻求刺激和坚忍与自杀能力呈正相关。就自杀意愿而言，自力更生和言语攻击与感知负担过重和归属感缺失均呈正相关。坚忍与归属感缺失呈正相关。
研究结果表明，不同的男性特质以不同的方式与自杀的人际关系理论的三个组成部分相关。坚忍可能是一个特别重要的男性特质，它会影响自杀意愿和自杀能力的一个组成部分。
