本研究在临床精神病学样本中检验了生活目的和生活满意度在防止自杀意念中的作用。49名精神病患者完成了自杀意念、生活目的、生活满意度、神经质、抑郁和社会绝望的自我报告测量。在假设的方向上，零阶相关表明自杀意念与各种预测因子之间存在显著关联。回归分析表明，生活目的和对生活的满意度在自杀意念得分中占有显著的额外变化，而不仅仅是负面心理因素。生活目的在生活满意度与自杀意念的关系中起中介作用，在抑郁与自杀意念的关系中起调节作用。这些发现表明，在建立自杀意念预测模型时，关注心理韧性和病理学，以及在评估和治疗自杀个体时关注关键的存在主义主题，都具有潜在的价值。
This study examined the role of purpose in life and satisfaction with life in protecting against suicide ideation in a clinical psychiatric sample. Forty-nine psychiatric patients completed self-report measures of suicide ideation, purpose in life, satisfaction with life, neuroticism, depression, and social hopelessness. Zero-order correlations indicated significant associations between suicide ideation and the various predictors, in the hypothesized directions. Regression analyses illustrated that purpose in life and satisfaction with life accounted for significant additional variability in suicide ideation scores above and beyond that accounted for by the negative psychological factors alone. Purpose in life also mediated the relation between satisfaction with life and suicide ideation and moderated the relation between depression and suicide ideation. These findings demonstrate the potential value of attending to both resilience and pathology when building predictive models of suicide ideation and of attending to key existential themes when assessing and treating suicidal individuals.
