Background: The emotion disgust is typically directed toward stimuli in the external environment, but sometimes people develop self-directed disgust responses. Aims: The current questionnaire study focused on the role of self-disgust in lifetime suicidal ideation and behavior. Method: A total of 1,167 individuals participated in an Internet-based survey containing self-report measures of self-disgust, externally directed disgust proneness, coping styles, diagnoses of mental disorders, and suicide risk. Hierarchical regression analyses as well as mediation analyses were computed. Results: Self-disgust was the most relevant predictor of suicide risk among the assessed variables. Self-disgust was negatively associated with the use of support by others, and positively associated with evasive coping (self-blame, venting, denial), which in turn was positively associated with suicidality. Limitations: This cross-sectional study provided information on the relationship between self-disgust and suicidality in a self-selected sample. Longitudinal studies are warranted. Conclusion: Future studies are required to replicate these findings. Additionally, stronger research designs are needed in order to investigate whether self-disgust should be targeted in suicide prevention programs and interventions.

自我厌恶及其与终生自杀意念和行为的关系。

背景：情绪厌恶通常是针对外部环境的刺激，但有时人们会产生自我导向的厌恶反应。目的：当前的问卷研究侧重于自我厌恶在终生自杀意念和行为中的作用。方法：共有 1,167 人参与了一项基于互联网的调查，该调查包含自我厌恶、外向厌恶倾向、应对方式、精神障碍诊断和自杀风险的自我报告测量。计算了分层回归分析以及中介分析。结果：在评估变量中，自我厌恶是自杀风险最相关的预测因素。自我厌恶与使用他人支持呈负相关，与回避应对（自责、发泄、否认）呈正相关，这反过来又与自杀倾向呈正相关。局限性：这项横断面研究提供了有关自我厌恶和自选样本中自杀倾向之间关系的信息。纵向研究是有必要的。结论：需要未来的研究来复制这些发现。此外，需要更有力的研究设计来调查自我厌恶是否应该在自杀预防计划和干预中作为目标。
