Recent research has uncovered a wide prevalence variation of suicidal ideation in university students ranging from 9.7% to 58.3%. India has witnessed a 4.5% increase in suicide rates in the year 2021. The interplay between cognitive reappraisal of a stressful situation, suppression of emotional expression, and coping strategies for suicidal ideation of Indian University students is yet to be explored. We aim to determine whether suicidal ideation would differ across different types of family units, and to predict the extent to which perceived social support and avoidant coping could mediate the relation between emotion regulation processes and suicidal ideation.
Two hundred randomly selected University students (Mean age = 19.9, SD = 1.43) participated. Kruskal-Wallis, Pearson's product-moment correlation, and GLM mediation model were computed.
Lifetime suicidal ideation significantly differed between those who stay alone and those who live in a nuclear family ( < 0.01), and also those who stay in a joint family ( < 0.05). Cognitive reappraisal predicted a reduction in suicidal ideation mediated by perceived social support (B = -0.06, < 0.05) and avoidant coping (B = -0.07, < 0.05). Whereas, expressive suppression predicted induced levels of suicidal ideation through perceived social support (B = 0.05, < 0.05), and avoidant coping (B = 0.06, < 0.05) as mediators.
Though our sample size restricts the generalization, our findings implied the importance of regular psychological consultation regarding the efficacy of the said coping processes in dealing with suicidal ideation.
最近的研究发现，大学生自杀意念的普遍发生率差异很大，从9.7%到58.3%不等。印度在2021年的自杀率上升了4.5%。印度大学生在对压力情境的认知重新评估、情绪表达抑制以及自杀意念应对策略之间的相互作用尚待探索。我们旨在确定自杀意念在不同类型家庭单位中是否存在差异，并预测感知到的社会支持和回避应对在多大程度上可以调节情绪调节过程与自杀意念之间的关系。
随机选取200名大学生（平均年龄=19.9，标准差=1.43）参与研究。计算了克鲁斯卡尔-沃利斯检验、皮尔逊积差相关以及广义线性模型中介模型。
终身自杀意念在独居者和核心家庭居住者之间存在显著差异（<0.01），在与大家庭同住者之间也存在显著差异（<0.05）。认知重新评估通过感知到的社会支持（B=-0.06，<0.05）和回避应对（B=-0.07，<0.05）预测自杀意念的减少。而表达抑制通过感知到的社会支持（B=0.05，<0.05）和回避应对（B=0.06，<0.05）作为中介预测自杀意念水平的升高。
尽管我们的样本量限制了研究结果的普遍性，但我们的研究结果表明，就上述应对过程在处理自杀意念方面的有效性进行定期心理咨询具有重要意义。
