目的：与同龄的非大学生相比，大学生的自杀风险往往更高，并且可能会因社会支持和互动的质量而加剧。作者考察了积极的社会支持和消极的社会交换对大学生自杀意念和企图的独立贡献。参与者：参与者是439名志愿者本科生，主要是女性（71%）。方法：横断面调查设计。参与者完成了评估积极社会支持的措施，包括情感，信息和有形的支持;消极的社会交流;和自杀行为，包括意念和企图。结果如下：积极的社会支持，特别是有形的支持，和消极的社会交流可以显着预测更严重的自杀行为。结论：支持的实际表现可能会缓冲大学生的自杀风险，而基于冲突的互动可能会导致风险增加。在机构、父母和同伴层面上，促进支持性关系可能是预防自杀的重要策略。
Objective: Risk for suicide is often higher among college students, compared to same-age noncollegiate peers, and may be exacerbated by quality of social support and interactions. The authors examined the independent contributions of positive social support and negative social exchanges to suicide ideation and attempts in college students. Participants: Participants were 439 volunteer undergraduate students, who were primarily female (71%). Methods: Cross-sectional, survey design. Participants completed measures assessing positive social support, including emotional, informational, and tangible support; negative social exchanges; and suicidal behavior, including ideation and attempts. Results: Positive social support, particularly tangible support, and negative social exchanges were significantly predictive of greater suicidal behavior. Conclusions: Practical manifestations of support may buffer against suicide risk for college students, whereas conflict-based interactions may contribute to increased risk. At the institutional, parental, and peer levels, promotion of supportive relationships may be an important suicide prevention strategy.
