Suicidal ideation (SI) nearly always precedes lethal suicide attempts. Anger may play a role in SI, but this appears to vary by gender and nuances in this relationship are unclear.
We investigated whether levels of (a) anger and (b) SI vary by gender, (c) the cross-sectional relationship between anger and SI, and (d) if gender moderates that relationship in two samples: adults seeking care for excessive anger (Study 1) and undergraduates endorsing previous suicide attempt (Study 2).
In Study 1, anger was more commonly endorsed in women; however, in Study 2, anger did not vary by gender. In both studies, SI did not vary by gender. Further, in both studies, anger and SI were positively related. The relationship between anger and SI did not vary by gender in either study.
The strength of the relationship between anger and SI did not vary by gender.
自杀意念(SI)几乎总是先于致命的自杀企图。愤怒可能在 SI 中起作用,但这似乎因性别而异,而且这种关系中的细微差别尚不清楚。
我们调查了愤怒水平(a)和(b)是否因性别而异,(c)愤怒和 SI 之间的横断面关系,以及(d)如果性别在两个样本中调节这种关系:寻求过度愤怒治疗的成年人(研究 1)和以前有过自杀企图的本科生(研究 2)。
在研究 1 中,女性更常报告愤怒;然而,在研究 2 中,愤怒没有性别差异。在两项研究中,SI 都没有性别差异。此外,在两项研究中,愤怒和 SI 呈正相关。愤怒和 SI 之间的关系在两项研究中都没有性别差异。
愤怒和 SI 之间的关系强度不因性别而异。
