Drawing from the mental health crisis present on college campuses, we investigate the psychological processes associated with suicidal ideation among undergraduate students. Specifically, we used Terror Management Theory to investigate how individuals who have a history of suicidal ideation handle traditional death anxiety in coordination with Benjamin's theory underlying Interpersonal Reconstructive Therapy to explore specific attachment-based mechanisms that may allow for exceptions to the perceived meaning of death. Results show it was the fantasy of suicide itself, including its relevance in the lives of others, that was used to alleviate fear of death among the suicidal.
基于大学校园存在的心理健康危机,我们调查了与本科生自杀意念相关的心理过程。具体而言,我们运用恐惧管理理论来研究有自杀意念史的个体如何应对传统的死亡焦虑,并结合本杰明人际重构疗法的基础理论,探索可能使对死亡的感知意义产生例外的特定依恋机制。结果表明,正是自杀本身的幻想,包括其在他人生活中的关联性,被用于减轻自杀者对死亡的恐惧。
