目的儿童时期的心理虐待是青少年自杀意念的预测因素，而社会支持是一种保护因素，但对儿童时期的心理虐待与青少年自杀意念之间的社会认知机制知之甚少。此外，鉴于文化、种族/民族和性别对社会关系和自杀相关风险因素的影响，这些机制可能因人口群体而异。本研究考察了PM是否通过社会能力自我感知（SC）预测SI，以及这种关系是否因种族/民族和性别而异。方法我们分析了一个不同种族的、纵向的有虐待风险的青少年样本（N= 765）。在12岁时完成终身虐待的自我报告测量，并结合儿童保护服务的数据。青少年还在12岁时完成了感知SC的测量。分别在8岁、12岁、16岁和18岁时测定SI指标。结果心理虐待组和非心理虐待组的感知SC得分差异有统计学意义，而身体虐待和性虐待组的感知SC得分差异无统计学意义。白人女孩和男孩的自我知觉完全介导童年PM和SI之间的关系。结论我们的研究结果表明，SC感知不良与PM有独特的关系，白人青少年可能通过涉及社会认知的特定机制发展SI。某些青少年可能受益于改善社会认知和促进健康关系的干预措施，以预防青春期的性侵犯。
ObjectiveChildhood psychological maltreatment (PM) is a well-studied predictor of adolescent suicide ideation (SI), whereas social support is a protective factor, but little is known about social cognitive mechanisms that may link PM to SI. Further, given the impact that culture, race/ethnicity, and gender can have on social relationships and suicide-related risk factors, these mechanisms may differ across demographic groups. The present study examined whether PM predicts SI through self-perception of social competence (SC) and whether this relationship differs depending on race/ethnicity and gender.MethodWe analyzed a racially diverse, longitudinal sample of adolescents at risk for maltreatment (N= 765). Self-report measures of lifetime maltreatment were completed at age 12 and combined with data from Child Protective Services. Youth also completed measures of perceived SC at age 12. Indicators of SI were taken at ages 8, 12, 16, and 18.ResultsPerceived SC scores differed significantly between children who were psychologically maltreated and those who were not, but these differences were nonsignificant for physical and sexual abuse. Self-perception of SC fully mediated the relationship between childhood PM and SI for White girls and boys.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that poor perceived SC is uniquely associated with PM, and White adolescents may develop SI through specific mechanisms involving social cognition. Certain youth may benefit from interventions improving social cognitions and promoting healthy relationships to prevent SI during adolescence.
