Suicide is one of the major public health problems in young adults. Detecting the risk factors and correlates among university students might help identify students who are under risk and who need early interventions for suicide prevention. The current study aimed to investigate the cognitive style, self-esteem, hopelessness, rumination, cognitive reactivity, and personality characteristics of Turkish university students, who previously attempted suicide and who did not. A total of 355 university students (34 previous suicide attempters) were recruited for this study, and they completed the Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI), the Ruminative Response Scale (RRS), the Leiden Index of Depression Sensitivity-Revised, the Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS), the Cognitive Style Questionnaire-Short Form (CSQ), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Higher RRS, BHS, CSQ scores and lower TIPI-A and RSES scores were significantly associated with a previous suicide attempt. Negative cognitive style, hopelessness, and rumination were significant correlates of a previous suicide attempt. These cognitive factors may be targets in psychotherapy to reduce suicide attempts in college-age individuals.

土耳其大学生的自杀企图：认知风格、绝望、认知反应、沉思、自尊和个性特征的作用

自杀是年轻人的主要公共卫生问题之一。检测大学生中的风险因素和相关性可能有助于识别处于风险中并需要早期干预以预防自杀的学生。目前的研究旨在调查土耳其大学生的认知风格、自尊、绝望、沉思、认知反应和个性特征，这些学生以前曾尝试过自杀，但没有尝试过。本研究共招募了 355 名大学生（34 名以前的自杀未遂者），他们完成了十项人格量表（TIPI）、反刍反应量表（RRS）、莱顿抑郁敏感性指数修正版、贝克绝望量表 (BHS)、认知风格问卷简表 (CSQ)、罗森伯格自尊量表 (RSES)、和医院焦虑和抑郁量表。较高的 RRS、BHS、CSQ 分数和较低的 TIPI-A 和 RSES 分数与之前的自杀企图显着相关。消极的认知方式、绝望和沉思与之前的自杀企图有显着关联。这些认知因素可能是心理治疗的目标，以减少大学年龄个体的自杀企图。
