研究表明，友谊和美国年轻人的自杀倾向之间存在联系，但这种联系尚未在不同种族中得到证实。在这项研究中，墨西哥裔美国人和欧洲裔美国人青少年之间的友谊和自杀之间的关系进行了检查。具体来说，友谊问题的作用（即，社会孤立，低质量的友谊）和有问题的朋友（即，与学校脱节的朋友，犯罪的朋友）进行了探索。参加者为648名社区青年。朋友的学校脱节与墨西哥裔美国女孩的自杀意念有关，而朋友的犯罪行为与欧洲裔美国青年的自杀行为有关。在控制了自杀相关因素如抑郁后，友谊因素不再与自杀相关。这些发现表明，友谊和自杀之间的关系因性别和种族而异。他们还表明抑郁症的主导作用。
Research suggests a link between friendships and suicidality among U.S. youth, but this link has not been confirmed across ethnicities. The relationship between friendships and suicidality among Mexican American and European American adolescents was examined in this study. Specifically, the role of friendship problems (i.e., social isolation, poor quality friendships) and problematic friends (i.e., friends who were disconnected from school, delinquent friends) was explored. Participants were 648 community youth. Friends’ school disconnection was related to Mexican American girls’ suicidal ideation, while friends’ delinquency was associated with European American youth suicidal behavior. Friendship factors were no longer associated with suicidality after controlling for suicidality correlates such as depression. These findings indicate that the relationship between friendships and suicidality varies by gender and ethnicity. They also suggest a dominant role of depression.
