Suicidal behavior is a risk factor for suicide attempts. Identifying the factors that increase suicidal behavior risk is paramount for overall suicide prevention efforts. One model that may contribute to our understanding of the relationship between early life experiences and suicidal behavior is the schema theory. This study aimed to examine suicidal behavior, early maladaptive schemas (EMSs), and schema domains using a large Brazilian nonclinical sample. The study included 19,060 individuals. We assessed sociodemographic variables, suicidal behavior (Suicidal Behavior Questionnaire), and EMSs (Young Schema Questionnaire) using an online, Web-based survey. Our results showed that, when comparing participants with no ideation with those with serious suicide attempts, we found significant statistical differences in all EMSs (all p 's < 0.05), with higher scores in those with serious suicide attempts. Our results suggest that specific unmet emotional needs during childhood can affect mental health and result in serious suicide attempts in adulthood.
自杀行为是自杀企图的一个风险因素。确定增加自杀行为风险的因素对于整体自杀预防工作至关重要。一种可能有助于我们理解早期生活经历与自杀行为之间关系的模型是图式理论。本研究旨在使用大型巴西非临床样本研究自杀行为、早期适应不良图式（EMSs）和图式领域。该研究纳入了 19060 人。我们使用在线网络调查评估了社会人口统计学变量、自杀行为（自杀行为问卷）和 EMSs（年轻图式问卷）。我们的结果表明，在比较无自杀意念者和严重自杀企图者时，我们发现所有 EMSs 都存在显著的统计学差异（所有 p' 值均小于 0.05），严重自杀企图者的得分更高。我们的结果表明，儿童时期特定的未满足的情感需求会影响心理健康，并导致成年后严重的自杀企图。
