Abstract

Suicide has become the second leading cause of death for individuals between 15 and 29 years old and increasingly more common within college students (WHO, 2016). The purpose of this study was to examine the associations among alexithymia, impulsivity, and locus of control as predictors of suicide risk in college students. Participants were comprised of 550 undergraduate students from two universities in the southeastern United States. Multiple regression analyses were examined to evaluate what variables could be significant predictors of suicide risk in college students. Age, alexithymia subscales of difficulty identifying feelings and externally oriented thinking, and impulsivity subscales of motor, self-control, and nonplanning were considered significant in the regression analysis of suicide risk. Psychoeducational implications, limitations, and future directions are also discussed.
大学生自杀风险:述情障碍、冲动性与内在控制源的关系
自杀已成为15至29岁人群的第二大死亡原因,在大学生中越来越普遍(世卫组织,2016年)。本研究的目的是探讨述情障碍、冲动和控制点作为大学生自杀风险预测因子之间的关系。参与者由来自美国东南部两所大学的550名本科生组成。通过多元回归分析,评估哪些变量可能是大学生自杀风险的显著预测因子。年龄、情感识别困难和外向型思维的述情障碍亚量表以及运动、自我控制和无计划的冲动性亚量表在自杀风险的回归分析中被认为具有显著意义。心理教育的意义,局限性和未来的发展方向也进行了讨论。
