Suicide among young people is an increasingly prevalent and devastating public health crisis around the world. To reduce the rate of suicide, it is important to identify factors that can help us better predict suicidal ideation and behaviors. Adolescent temperament (effortful control, negative emotionality, positive emotionality) may be a source of risk and resilience for the onset of suicidal ideation, plans, and attempts. The present study uses longitudinal data from a large, community sample of Mexican-origin youth (N = 674), assessed annually from age 12 to 21, to examine how temperament is associated with the onset of suicidal ideation and behaviors during adolescence and young adulthood. Results indicate that higher levels of effortful control (activation control, inhibitory control, attention) are associated with decreased probability of experiencing the onset of suicidal ideation, plans, and attempts, whereas higher levels of negative emotionality (particularly aggression, frustration, and depressed mood) are associated with increased probability of experiencing the onset of suicidal ideation and behaviors. Positive emotionality (surgency, affiliation) was not associated with the onset of suicidal ideation and behaviors. Supplemental analyses showed conceptually similar findings for the Big Five, with Conscientiousness associated with decreased risk, Neuroticism associated with increased risk, and the other three dimensions showing largely null results. The findings did not vary significantly for boys and girls or for youth born in the U.S. versus Mexico. Overall, these findings suggest that adolescent temperament serves as both a protective factor (via effortful control/Conscientiousness) and a risk factor (via negative emotionality/Neuroticism) for suicidal ideation and behaviors in Mexican-origin youth.

气质在青春期自杀意念和行为发生中的作用：对墨西哥裔青少年进行的 10 年纵向研究的结果。


年轻人自杀是世界各地日益普遍且具有破坏性的公共卫生危机。为了降低自杀率，重要的是确定可以帮助我们更好地预测自杀意念和行为的因素。青少年气质（努力控制、消极情绪、积极情绪）可能是自杀意念、计划和尝试发生的风险和复原力的来源。本研究使用来自墨西哥裔青少年（N = 674）的大型社区样本（N = 674）的纵向数据，每年对 12 至 21 岁的青少年进行评估，以研究气质如何与青春期和青年期自杀意念和行为的发生相关。 。结果表明，较高水平的努力控制（激活控制、抑制控制、注意力）与经历自杀意念、计划和尝试的可能性降低相关，而较高水平的负面情绪（特别是攻击性、沮丧和抑郁情绪）与自杀意念、计划和尝试发生的可能性降低相关。 ）与出现自杀意念和行为的可能性增加有关。积极情绪（紧迫感、归属感）与自杀意念和行为的发生无关。补充分析显示，“大五”在概念上有相似的发现，其中责任心与风险降低相关，神经质与风险增加相关，而其他三个维度则显示基本无效的结果。对于男孩和女孩或在美国出生的青少年和墨西哥出生的青少年来说，研究结果没有显着差异。 总体而言，这些研究结果表明，青少年气质既是墨西哥裔青少年自杀意念和行为的保护因素（通过努力控制/责任心）又是风险因素（通过消极情绪/神经质）。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
