OBJECTIVE Recent trends in suicide and suicide-related risk suggest that African American youth are particularly vulnerable; however, little is known about the sociocultural context of suicide-related risk in this population. The present study examined ethnic identity as a moderator of the relationship between defeat and entrapment and suicide ideation in African American young adults. METHOD A sample of African American college students (N = 106; 46.2% female; (Mage = 20.63) completed a battery of surveys online. Using cross-sectional data, a moderation analysis was conducted. RESULTS As partially hypothesized, ethnic identity, specifically exploration and commitment, weakened the relationship between defeat and entrapment and suicide ideation. CONCLUSION This study suggests that African Americans who frequently engage in customary traditions and organizations with other African Americans may be protected from the harmful effects of feelings of defeat and entrapment on suicide ideation.

目标 自杀和自杀相关风险的近期趋势表明，非裔美国青年特别容易受到伤害；然而，人们对这一人群中与自杀相关风险的社会文化背景知之甚少。本研究将种族认同作为非裔美国年轻人失败和诱捕与自杀意念之间关系的调节因素。方法 非裔美国大学生样本（N = 106；46.2% 女性；（Mage = 20.63）在线完成了一系列调查。使用横断面数据，进行了适度分析。结果作为部分假设，种族认同，特别是探索和承诺，弱化了失败和诱捕与自杀意念之间的关系。结论 这项研究表明，经常与其他非裔美国人一起参与习俗传统和组织的非裔美国人可能不会受到挫败感和受困感对自杀意念的有害影响。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
