ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to clarify the role of mindfulness in suicide ideation (SI) in college students by testing which component(s) of mindfulness would add to the explanation of SI when depression, hopelessness and suicide attempt history were considered. Seven hundred sixty-three undergraduate college students provided survey data on well-established measures of the constructs of interest. Regressions were used to test associations between SI, attentional control and compassion and whether attentional control or compassion buffered relationships between depression, hopelessness and SI. In this sample, neither component of mindfulness was related to SI. However, the relationship between hopelessness and SI in college students was buffered by compassion, such that those students with greater compassion evidenced no relationship between hopelessness and SI. Findings from this study suggest compassion may warrant targeting to reduce SI among college students, particularly among those who are hopeless.

摘要

本研究的目的是通过测试当考虑抑郁、绝望和自杀未遂史时，正念的哪些成分会增加对 SI 的解释，从而阐明正念在大学生自杀意念 (SI) 中的作用。763 名本科生提供了关于兴趣结构的成熟测量的调查数据。回归用于测试 SI、注意力控制和同情心之间的关联，以及注意力控制或同情心是否缓冲了抑郁、绝望和 SI 之间的关系。在这个样本中，正念的任何一个组成部分都与 SI 无关。然而，大学生的绝望和SI之间的关系被同情所缓冲，这样，那些具有更大同情心的学生就证明了绝望和 SI 之间没有关系。这项研究的结果表明，同情心可能需要以减少大学生的 SI 为目标，尤其是那些绝望的人。
