    Suicide
    |January 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Adolescent suicidal behaviors, including ideation and attempts, are linked to recent negative self-attitudes. The connection to past self-derogation depends on sex, social class, and the type of suicidal response.

    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Psychology
    • Adolescent Mental Health
    • Suicidology

    Background:

    • Negative self-attitudes are a potential precursor to suicidal behaviors.
    • Understanding the temporal relationship between self-perception and suicidal ideation, threats, or attempts is crucial for early intervention.
    • Previous research has explored links between negative self-attitudes and suicidal responses, but longitudinal data in adolescents is limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the hypothesized relationship between antecedent negative self-attitudes and the adoption of suicidal responses (ideation, threats, attempts) in a large adolescent cohort.
    • To examine the temporal dynamics of this relationship over a three-year period.
    • To explore potential moderating factors such as sex, social class, and the specific mode of suicidal response.

    Main Methods:

    • Longitudinal study involving 3,148 junior high school students.
    • Data collected via annual questionnaire responses over three consecutive years.
    • Negative self-attitudes measured using a seven-item self-derogation scale at baseline; suicidal responses identified through self-report of denial followed by affirmation.

    Main Results:

    • Findings indicate that suicidal behaviors are indeed responses to negative self-attitudes experienced in the more recent past.
    • The association between suicidal behaviors and more remote self-derogating feelings is contingent upon an interaction involving sex, social class, and the mode of suicidal response.
    • Suicidal behaviors, whether continued or not, are significantly predicted by recent negative self-perceptions.

    Conclusions:

    • Recent negative self-attitudes are a significant predictor of adolescent suicidal behaviors.
    • The influence of past negative self-attitudes on suicidal responses is complex and moderated by demographic and response-specific factors.
    • These findings underscore the importance of addressing current negative self-perceptions in preventing adolescent suicide.
