Abstract
Introduction: As an important transdiagnostic factor, intolerance of uncertainty (IU) can predict suicidal ideation (SI). But little is known about the underlying mechanisms. The present study examined the chain mediating roles of three maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation (CER) strategies and psychache in the relation between IU and SI, as well as gender differences.
Methods: A number of 1532 Chinese adolescents (43.1% males; baseline mean age = 15.00 years, SD = 1.57) completed self-report questionnaires on IU, self-blame, rumination, catastrophizing, psychache and SI for two waves, 6 months apart.
Results: The results indicated that IU predicted SI through psychache and the serial mediation of the three maladaptive CER strategies and psychache, but IU did not predict SI through the three maladaptive CER strategies. The relation between IU and catastrophizing, the relation between catastrophizing and psychache, and the relation between psychache and SI were stronger among females than males.
Conclusion: The results advance our understanding of how IU predicts SI, highlighting the importance of psychache in the development of SI.
期刊介绍:
An excellent resource for researchers as well as students, Social Cognition features reports on empirical research, self-perception, self-concept, social neuroscience, person-memory integration, social schemata, the development of social cognition, and the role of affect in memory and perception. Three broad concerns define the scope of the journal: - The processes underlying the perception, memory, and judgment of social stimuli - The effects of social, cultural, and affective factors on the processing of information - The behavioral and interpersonal consequences of cognitive processes.
