Neuroticism, rumination, depression and suicidal ideation: A moderated serial mediation model across four countries

A Moderation Model for Bolstering Resilience to Suicidal Psychopathology

“…Especially, a set of constructs i.e., PMH, emotional stability, conscientiousness, optimism, resilience, and coping flexibility negatively predicted suicidal ideations and suicidal attempts, which state people’s positive attitudes and perceptions of adversity that could have a significant impact on their suicidal behaviours in dealing with daily life stresses. These observations complement the existing literature, which has established that a higher level of these positive sociopsychological constructs would predict a lower risk of suicidal ideations among university students and adolescents (Brailovskaia et al, 2020; Kato, 2022; Kumar et al, 2022; Lawson et al, 2022; Vidal-Arenas V et al, 2022; Wei et al, 2022). Furthermore, current surveys' findings regarding suicidal attempts also supplement an existing reservoir of evidence about the detrimental predictive roles of substantial positive sociopsychological constructs.…”

“…In a comparable manner, the present findings also revealed that the personality trait of ES may not only operate as an antecedent of suicidal attempts but also moderate the effects of daily life stress on suicidal attempts. In addition, a few studies illustrated the moderating effects of ES on other psychological factors such as mindfulness or rumination in the prediction of psychological distress or suicidal behavior (Drake et al, 2017;Vidal-Arenas et al, 2022), providing empirical evidence in support of the present study observation. The plausible reason for this could be that personality trait (ES) has an impact on coping mechanisms and appraisal techniques, which might help in mitigating the effects of potential risk factors on suicidal psychopathologies or other psychological conditions.…”

“…A longitudinal survey by Hansson Bittár et al (2020) found the health-beneficial effects of ES or positive emotionality in the prevention of suicidal behavior. In a previous survey, depressive symptoms and ES have been shown to interact to predict negatively suicidal behavior (Vidal-Arenas et al, 2022). In a comparable manner, the present findings also revealed that the personality trait of ES may not only operate as an antecedent of suicidal attempts but also moderate the effects of daily life stress on suicidal attempts.…”

“…Second, the existing literature is mainly conducted in Western (Kessler et al, 2019; Siegmann et al, 2019; Sher, 2019; Brailovskaia et al, 2020; Teismann and Brailovskaia et al, 2020; Seo et al, 2022) or Eastern cultures (Bae and Lee, 2018; Kim and Cha, 2018; Song and Bae, 2022), whereas no such data are available in Indian cultures with different characteristics such as lesser individualistic and self-centered, and more collectivistic, which might have impacted the suicidal resilience differently than more self-focused Western cultures. Third, there are ambiguous findings regarding the moderating or buffering function of the positive sociopsychological construct such as social support, optimism, ES, and resilience (Kim and Cha, 2018; Siegmann et al, 2018; Kumar et al, 2022; Vidal-Arenas et al, 2022). Fourth, no such studies have evaluated buffering action of sociopsychological constructs on suicidal attempts.…”

Mediation effect of neuroticism on the causal association between serum albumin and suicidal ideation in depressed patients: a Mendelian randomization study

“…Namely, neurotic personality directly increased the risk of suicide in patients with depression. This is similar to observational study that higher in neuroticism scores is associated with stronger suicidal ideation (Vidal-Arenas et al, 2022). The Suicide Schema Assessment Model (Johnson et al, 2008) considers that neurotic individual has a selective processing bias for negative information, which cause itself sustaining negative emotional states and have a disposition to suicide-related information.…”
