Abstract

This study constructed a moderated mediation model to examine whether increased army morale could reduce suicidal ideation. The mediating role of grit and the moderating role of social support were also examined. A total of 1029 male navy cadets in China were recruited to complete the survey. The measures used in the study included the Army Morale Scale, Grit Scale, Social Support Scale, and Self-rated Idea of Suicide Scale. The results indicated that: increased army morale could significantly reduce suicidal ideation; the impact of army morale on suicidal ideation could be partially mediated by grit; and social support moderated the impact of army morale on suicidal ideation. Specifically, relatively higher levels of social support could reduce suicidal ideation among individuals with lower levels of army morale, but the effect is not significant when the morale is at a high level. The study revealed that increased army morale could reduce suicidal ideation. Moreover, the mediating role of grit and the moderating role of social support were also revealed.

军心对自杀意念的影响：中国海军人群中勇气的中介作用和社会支持的调节作用

本研究构建了一个调节中介模型，以检验军队士气的提高是否能减少自杀意念。研究还考察了勇气的中介作用和社会支持的调节作用。研究共招募了1029名中国男性海军学员完成调查。研究采用的量表包括军队士气量表、勇气量表、社会支持量表和自杀意念自评量表。结果表明：军队士气的提高可显著降低自杀意念；军队士气对自杀意念的影响可部分通过勇气来调节；社会支持可调节军队士气对自杀意念的影响。具体来说，相对较高的社会支持水平可以降低军队士气水平较低的个体的自杀意念，但当士气水平较高时，这种影响并不显著。研究表明，军队士气的提高可以减少自杀意念。此外，研究还揭示了勇气的中介作用和社会支持的调节作用。
