This study assessed whether specific dimensions of perfectionism and hopelessness were elevated in individuals who had made a serious suicide attempt in comparison to individuals with no history of suicide attempts. A sample of 39 inpatients with alcoholism who had made a serious suicide attempt and a matched sample of 39 inpatients with alcoholism but no history of suicide attempts completed the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, the Hopelessness Scale, ratings of achievement and social hopelessness, and the Beck Depression Inventory. The attempter group had higher scores on socially prescribed perfectionism, generalized hopelessness, achievement hopelessness, social hopelessness, and depression. A discriminant function analysis revealed that depression, social hopelessness, socially prescribed perfectionism, and other-oriented perfectionism were unique discriminators of the suicide groups. The results are discussed in terms of the importance of social personality variables in attempted suicide.
本研究评估了与无自杀未遂史的个体相比，有过严重自杀未遂行为的个体在完美主义和绝望感的特定维度上是否更高。39名有过严重自杀未遂行为的酒精中毒住院患者样本和39名无自杀未遂史的酒精中毒住院患者匹配样本完成了多维完美主义量表、绝望感量表、成就和社交绝望感评分以及贝克抑郁量表。自杀未遂组在社会规定的完美主义、普遍绝望感、成就绝望感、社交绝望感和抑郁方面得分更高。判别函数分析显示，抑郁、社交绝望感、社会规定的完美主义和他人导向的完美主义是自杀组的独特判别因素。根据社会人格变量在自杀未遂中的重要性对结果进行了讨论。
