“…Consistent with this, a study conducted by Eskin (1995) revealed that low perceived family support was a significant predictor of suicide risk for Turkish and Swedish high school students. Similarly Payne and Range (1996) found that suicidality was higher among students who reported less family cohesion as was indicated in the present study. Consistently, Harris and Molock (2000) argued that higher levels of family cohesion and family support were associated with lower levels of suicide ideation and depression.…”

The aim in this study was to underline the importance of family environment as a significant associate of suicide probability among university students. For this aim 226 Turkish university students completed Suicide Probability Scale, Family Environment Questionnaire, Beck Depression Inventory, and Positive and Negative Affect Scale. As a result of the formulated regression analysis, after controlling for the 51% of the total variance accounted for by the control variables (i.e., gender, age, living with family versus away from family, and Grade Point Averages) and mood related variables (i.e., depressive symptoms, and positive and negative affect), family cohesion still emerged as a significant associate of the suicide probability. These findings underline the importance of family relations as a risk factor of suicide among university students.

“…For example, two of the items ("I know people who have died and I believe that I w d meet them when I die" and "Death is actually eternal Me") have consistently either not loaded or cross-loaded on unintended factors in samples of American older adolescents and young adults. Also, some of the subscales, e.g., Repulsion by Death, have not yielded satisfactory evidence of valiQty for American adolescent samples (see Gutierrez, King, & Ghaziuddm, 1996;Payne & Range, 1996). Furthermore, most current self-report measures of suicidal ideation are designed to assess either the negative (Beck, Kovacs, & Weissman, 1979) or positive (Osman, et al, in press) component of suicidal ideation.…”

The Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation Inventory: Development and Validation

et al. 1998

We conducted two studies to develop and validate a brief self-report measure for assessing the frequency of positive and negative thoughts related to suicidal behavior. Items on this new measure, the Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation inventory, were generated by undergraduates. In Study 1, we administered a 20-item version of the inventory to 150 male and 300 female undergraduates and conducted an exploratory principal axis factor analysis with varimax rotation. Two factors, Positive Ideation and Negative Ideation, were retained. In Study 2, we conducted a confirmatory factor analysis to validate the fit of the one-factor and the oblique two-factor models to data from another sample of 84 men and 202 women. The oblique two-factor model provided an excellent fit to the sample data. We also examined preliminary evidence of concurrent and predictive validity. Over-all, these findings suggested that the inventory is a well-developed self-report measure for assessing the frequency of positive and negative thoughts related to suicidal behavior.
