Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of the study is to explore the association between the socio-environmental factors and suicidality (suicidal ideation or suicide attempts). Cross-sectional data were obtained from 2,369 undergraduates (1,168 male and 1,201 female students) from four colleges in China. Approximately 12.7% of the participants reported having engaged in suicidal ideation and 6.4% reported having attempted suicide. Students belonging to a sexual-minority group were more likely to have engaged in suicidal ideation (23.2% vs. 11.7%; p < .001), and suicide attempts (16.5% vs. 5.5%; p < .001) than heterosexual participants. Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that being a sexual minority (+), parenting styles including warmth (-), indulgence (+) and neglect (+), and support from family (-) were significantly associated with suicidality among male students. On the other hand, being a sexual minority group (+), parenting styles including warmth (-), humiliation (+) and neglect (+), support from teachers (-) and from boyfriend/girlfriend (-), and school conditions including learning atmosphere (-) and extracurricular activities (-) were significantly associated with suicidality among female participants.
摘要本研究旨在探讨社会环境因素与自杀行为(自杀意念或自杀企图)之间的关系。横断面数据来自中国四所高校的2369名本科生(1168名男生和1201名女生)。大约12.7%的参与者报告有过自杀意念,6.4%的参与者报告有过自杀未遂。属于性少数群体的学生更有可能产生自杀意念(23.2% vs 11.7%;P < 0.001),自杀企图(16.5% vs. 5.5%;P < 0.001)。多元logistic回归分析显示,性少数(+)、父母教养方式(温暖(-)、放纵(+)、忽视(+)、家庭支持(-)与男生自杀倾向显著相关。另一方面,作为性少数群体(+),父母教养方式(包括温暖(-)、羞辱(+)和忽视(+),教师支持(-)和男女朋友支持(-),学校条件(包括学习氛围(-)和课外活动(-))与女性参与者的自杀倾向显著相关。
