The present study examined the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide (IPT) within a culturally relevant framework by simultaneously examining familismo values to explain suicidal ideation among Mexican descent emerging adults. With a sample of 249 Mexican descent emerging adults (age range: 18–25 years; M = 19.17; SD = 1.53; 65.5% women), the present study found that there was a significant interaction between perceived burdensomeness (PB) and familismo-subjugation of self values. These findings provide evidence that in the context of perceiving one’s self as being a burden on the family, having higher familismo subjugation of self-values puts one at higher risk for suicidal ideation than if they have lower subjugation values. These findings highlight that when dissonance occurs between one’s values and their lived experience, a higher risk of suicidal ideation occurs for Mexican descent emerging adults.

本研究在文化相关的框架内，通过同时考察家庭价值观以解释墨西哥血统新兴成年人的自杀意念，研究了人际自杀理论（IPT）。以249名墨西哥血统的新兴成年人为样本（年龄范围：18–25岁；M  = 19.17；SD = 1.53; 65.5％的女性），本研究发现，感觉负担（PB）与自我价值的家族征服之间存在显着的相互作用。这些发现提供了证据，即在将自己的自我视为家庭负担的情况下，与自我价值偏低的家庭相比，较高的家庭对自我价值的压制会使人们遭受自杀意念的风险更高。这些发现凸显出，当一个人的价值观与生活经验之间出现不一致时，墨西哥裔新兴成年人的自杀意念发生的风险就会更高。
