军队中的自杀现象日益引起人们的关注。关于自杀行为的人际心理学理论认为，一个人不会因自杀而死亡，除非他或她经历了与他人的脱节、感觉自己是他人的负担以及这样做的能力，但这一理论尚未经过军事样本的严格检验。目前的研究测试了该理论在预测自杀史方面的假设，以 88 名现役美国空军人员为样本，并与非军事本科样本 (n = 309) 和非军事临床样本 (n = 228) 进行比较。与临床非军事样本相比，现役人员表现出更高的获得能力。与非军事本科生相比，现役人员表现出较少的负担。但在归属感受挫方面没有什么不同。负担和后天能力的相互作用显着预测了自杀史，但负担、归属感和后天能力之间的三向相互作用却没有，这为军事样本中的理论提供了部分支持。 (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Suicide in the military is a growing concern. The interpersonal-psychological theory of suicidal behavior proposes that an individual will not die by suicide unless he or she experiences a combined disconnection from others, feelings that one is a burden on others, and the ability to do so, but this theory has not yet been rigorously tested with military samples. The current study tested the theory's hypotheses in predicting history of suicide in a sample of 88 active duty US Air Force personnel, which was compared to a non-military undergraduate sample (n = 309) and a non-military clinical sample (n = 228). Active duty personnel demonstrated higher acquired capability when compared to a clinical non-military sample. As compared to non-military undergraduates, active duty personnel demonstrated less perceived burdensomeness. but did not differ in terms of thwarted belongingness. The interaction of burdensomeness and acquired capability significantly predicted suicidal history, but the three-way interaction between burdensomeness, belongingness, and acquired capability did not, providing partial support for the theory in a military sample.
