与性侵犯相关的创伤后应激症状与更大的自杀意念有关，但人们对可能削弱这种联系并减少创伤后应激背景下自杀意念的保护因素知之甚少。根据积极情绪的拓展和构建理论以及之前的研究，与复原力相关的心理优势，例如乐观和感恩，有可能与性侵犯幸存者的自杀意念减弱有关。我们在 425 名本科女性样本中测试了这种可能性，这些女性报告了青春期或成年期间不愉快的性经历。线性回归分析显示，过去一个月内与性侵犯相关的创伤后应激症状越严重，与并发的自杀意念越多相关。然而，适度分析显示，对于乐观和感恩程度较高的人来说，与攻击相关的创伤后压力和自杀意念之间的联系被削弱了。此外，在最高水平的乐观和感激之情下，创伤后压力和自杀意念之间不再存在显着关联。鉴于乐观和感恩是个人可以随着时间的推移而发展和成长的可改变的力量，这些结果表明，在对经历过性侵犯的大学女性进行干预时，增强乐观和感恩可能是减少自杀想法的有效方法。
Posttraumatic stress symptoms related to sexual assault have been linked to greater suicidal ideation, yet little is known about protective factors that may weaken this link and reduce thoughts of suicide in the context of posttraumatic stress. Drawing on the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions and prior research, psychological strengths associated with resilience, such as optimism and gratitude, have the potential to be associated with attenuated suicidal ideation among sexual assault survivors. We tested this possibility in a sample of 425 undergraduate women who reported unwanted sexual experiences during adolescence or adulthood. A linear regression analysis revealed that greater sexual assault-related posttraumatic stress symptoms in the past month were associated with greater concurrent suicidal ideation. However, moderation analyses revealed the link between assault-related posttraumatic stress and suicidal ideation was attenuated for individuals higher in optimism and gratitude. Further, at the highest levels of optimism and gratitude, there was no longer a significant association between posttraumatic stress and suicidal ideation. Given optimism and gratitude are modifiable strengths that individuals can develop and grow over time, these results suggest boosting optimism and gratitude may be a valuable way to attenuate thoughts of suicide in interventions for college women who have experienced sexual assault.
