To examine the effects of family support and demographics on suicidal behavior, 385 subjects completed a demographic questionnaire and a Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire (SIQ). Sixteen percent described themselves as "serious" ideators, while 59% were seen as ideators, numbers consistent with past suicide research. Multiple regression analyses revealed that the type of caregiver a person reported having while growing up accounted for a significant amount of the variance on ideator status. Serious ideators were more common among single parent households. Although many demographic variables were assessed, only the primary caregiver a person had as a child impacted their status as a suicidal ideator. This suggests that suicidal behaviors may occur due to a complex interaction between social factors and childhood care. The influence of living in a single-parent home may contribute to whether or not a person considers suicide.
为了研究家庭支持和人口统计学因素对自杀行为的影响，385名受试者完成了一份人口统计学问卷和一份自杀意念问卷（SIQ）。16%的人将自己描述为“重度”意念者，而59%的人被视为意念者，这些数字与过去的自杀研究结果一致。多元回归分析显示，一个人在成长过程中所报告的照顾者类型在很大程度上解释了意念者状态的差异。单亲家庭中重度意念者更为常见。尽管评估了许多人口统计学变量，但只有一个人童年时期的主要照顾者会影响其作为自杀意念者的状态。这表明自杀行为可能是由于社会因素和童年照料之间的复杂相互作用而发生的。生活在单亲家庭中的影响可能会导致一个人是否会考虑自杀。
