本研究旨在探讨一个少年犯样本中儿童期虐待、社会支持和问题解决评价之间的关系。分层回归分析被用来评估是否儿童虐待，社会支持，解决问题的评价是独立的预测自杀，以及进一步，是否解决问题的评价和社会支持调节儿童虐待自杀的关系。儿童期性虐待被认为是自杀意念和行为的独立预测因子。此外，解决问题的信心和社会支持调节儿童虐待和自杀意念之间的关系。本研究的结果强调了问题解决评价和社会支持对有虐待史的青少年自杀行为的重要性。
The purpose of the current study was to examine the relationship between childhood abuse, social support, and problem-solving appraisal within a juvenile delinquent sample. Hierarchical regression analyses were used to assess whether childhood abuse, social support, and problem-solving appraisal were independently predictive of suicidality, and further, whether problem-solving appraisal and social support moderated the childhood abuse-suicidality relationship. Childhood sexual abuse was found to be an independent predictor of suicidal ideation and behavior. In addition, both problem-solving confidence and social support moderated the relationship between childhood abuse and suicidal ideation. The results of this study underscore the importance of both problem-solving appraisal and social support to suicidality in adolescents with a history of abuse.
