Repetitive negative thinking (RNT) and addictive Facebook use have been shown to be associated with suicide ideation and suicidal behavior. The present longitudinal study aimed to investigate whether the association between addictive Facebook use and suicide-related outcomes is mediated by RNT. Data of 191 German Facebook users ( = 26.17, = 6.63) were assessed at two measurement time points over a one-year period (first measurement = T1, second measurement = T2) via online surveys. The significant positive association between addictive Facebook use (T1) and suicide-related outcomes (T2) was significantly mediated by RNT (T1). In contrast, a check test that included RNT (T1) as predictor and addictive Facebook use (T1) as mediator revealed no significant mediation effect. The current results demonstrate that if addictive Facebook use leads to RNT suicide ideation and attempts become likely. Therefore, RNT and addictive Facebook use should be taken into account when assessing individuals for risk of suicide.
反复消极思维（RNT）和沉迷于使用脸书已被证明与自杀意念和自杀行为有关。本纵向研究旨在调查沉迷于使用脸书与自杀相关结果之间的关联是否由反复消极思维介导。通过在线调查，在一年时间内的两个测量时间点（第一次测量=T1，第二次测量=T2）对191名德国脸书用户的数据（平均年龄=26.17岁，标准差=6.63）进行了评估。沉迷于使用脸书（T1）与自杀相关结果（T2）之间的显著正相关由反复消极思维（T1）显著介导。相比之下，一项以反复消极思维（T1）作为预测因素、沉迷于使用脸书（T1）作为中介变量的检验未显示出显著的中介效应。当前结果表明，如果沉迷于使用脸书导致反复消极思维，那么自杀意念和自杀企图就有可能出现。因此，在评估个体的自杀风险时，应考虑反复消极思维和沉迷于使用脸书的情况。
