The current study investigated the relationship between army morale and suicidal ideation in Chinese military cadets, including the mediating role of self-control and the moderating role of self-construal. A total of 1124 male navy cadets participated in the study, completing a series of questionnaires. The results revealed the following: (1) army morale could negatively predict suicidal ideation; (2) the negative predictive effect of army morale on suicidal ideation could be partially mediated by self-control; and (3) self-construal moderated the predictive effect of army morale on suicidal ideation among navy cadets. Finally, the current study suggested that building some relevant assessment, diagnostic, and training programs may help build army morale and further prevent suicidal ideation in the military context.
本研究调查了中国军校学员的军队士气与自杀意念之间的关系，包括自我控制的中介作用和自我建构的调节作用。共有1124名男性海军学员参与了该研究，他们完成了一系列问卷调查。结果显示如下：（1）军队士气能够负向预测自杀意念；（2）军队士气对自杀意念的负向预测作用可部分由自我控制来中介；（3）自我建构调节了军队士气对海军学员自杀意念的预测作用。最后，本研究表明，构建一些相关的评估、诊断和培训项目可能有助于提升军队士气，并进一步预防军事环境中的自杀意念。
