Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

121
The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Education

Background:

  • College students face significant mental health challenges, including suicide risk.
  • Gatekeeper training programs aim to equip individuals to identify and support those at risk.
  • Peer-delivered programs offer a scalable approach to suicide prevention on college campuses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of a peer-delivered suicide prevention gatekeeper training program for college students.
  • To assess changes in knowledge, skills, willingness to intervene, and self-efficacy post-training.
  • To determine if participants engaged in gatekeeper behaviors at follow-up.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 1,345 undergraduate students participated in a single-session, peer-led gatekeeper training.
  • Quantitative data collected via pre-, post-, and 3-month follow-up surveys.
  • Qualitative data gathered through open-ended questions to explore behavioral engagement.

Main Results:

  • Participants demonstrated significant increases in knowledge, perceived skills, willingness to intervene, and self-efficacy from pre- to post-training.
  • These improvements were maintained at the 3-month follow-up.
  • Both quantitative and qualitative data confirmed sustained engagement in gatekeeper behaviors attributed to the training.

Conclusions:

  • Peer-delivered suicide prevention gatekeeper training is a feasible and effective intervention for college students.
  • The training enhances students' capacity to act as gatekeepers, contributing to sustainable campus suicide prevention.
  • This program can bolster a university's overall suicide prevention strategy.
