“…Moreover, we consider these results even more interesting for two reasons: first, we referred to personality traits as complex and multifaceted psychobiological factors, as implied by the adoption of the alternative five-factor models of personality. Second, we found that attachment dimensions are associated to personality traits in determining risk for SI in the elderly, confirming results from recent studies in different age groups (Davaji et al, 2010;Sheftall et al, 2013). However, research aiming to clarify the associations between such dimensions is needed.…”

“…Research has recently addressed individual differences in SI to internal working models (Davaji, Valizadeh, & Nikamal, 2010;Sheftall, Mathias, Furr, & Dougherty, 2013). According to Bowlby's (1969Bowlby's ( , 1973Bowlby's ( , 1980 theory of personality development, early life experiences of attachment impact later self-other perceptions, determining significant variations in relationships functioning across life stages.…”

Although the elderly are exposed to specific life stressors associated with suicidal ideation, our findings suggest that the elderly and young adults may be similar on personality and psychopathology variables predicting suicidal ideation than previously hypothesized. Implications are provided for enhanced assessment and intervention of the elderly high in neuroticism, depression, hopelessness, and with negative self-other perception.

“…Peter, Roberts, and Buzdugan (2008) mention that depressive or anxiety symptoms are correlated to negative attachment to parents. In relation to suicidal behavior, negative attachment to parents is associated with higher levels of suicidal ideation (Davaji, Valizadeh, & Nikamal, 2010;Peter et al, 2008), whereas a positive attachment to family members relates to lower levels of suicidal thoughts and signifi cantly reduces suicide attempts among teenagers (Davaji et al, 2010;Maimon, Browning & Brooks-Gunn, 2010). Lessard and Moretti (1998) added some interesting data to this topic, fi nding that suicidal ideation maintains a positive correlation with attachment styles with a negative model of self (preoccupied and fearful), deriving the opposite correlation when it comes to styles which maintain an inward positive model (secure and dismissing).…”

-The present study aims to identify psychological predictors of suicidal ideation in university students. We collected a sample of 366 participants, representing a population of 7102 students from a university in northern Portugal (95% CI). Both in the whole sample and in the intra-gender analysis, students with suicidal ideation revealed higher levels of depressive symptoms, loneliness, social anxiety and fears of abandonment, and lower levels of comfort with intimacy and trust in others. Loneliness and depression are signifi cant predictors of suicidal ideation, with an odds ratio of 1.095 and 1.108, respectively. The results were consistent with those found in the literature, and call for more research and implementation of intervention protocols in university populations.Keywords: psychological predictors, suicidal ideation, university students Investigando Preditores Psicológicos de Ideação Suicida em Estudantes UniversitáriosRESUMO -Este trabalho buscou investigar preditores psicológicos de ideação suicida em estudantes universitários.

Tanto na amostra total como nas análises intra-gêneros, estudantes com ideação suicida revelaram maiores níveis de sintomas depressivos, solidão, ansiedade social e medo do abandono, bem como menores níveis de conforto com a intimidade e confi ança nos outros.

Self/other Perception Mediates Between Personality and Suicidal Ideation in Young Adults

et al. 2014

-Background and Objectives: Individual differences in vulnerability to suicidal ideation have been recently addressed to internal working models of attachment. However, to date, research has mainly focused on adolescents. Few studies have investigated the role of adult attachment and personality dimensions in suicidal ideation, either examined from a mediational perspective. In this study, we aimed at testing a theoretical model in which Self/other perception mediates between personality and suicidal ideation in young adults.Methods: Dimensions of Attachment (self/other perception), Personality (the Big Five factor model), and Suicidal Ideation (hopelessness and depression) were assessed in a community sample of 319 young adults from Northern Italy. Structural Equation Modeling and mediation analysis were conducted. Controlling for demographic variables (i.e., gender, age, education, and job), we tested three structural models.Results: The final model confirmed our hypothesis that self/other perception mediates between personality (high neuroticism and low extraversion) and suicidal ideation, providing excellent fit to data.Conclusions: In line with the conceptual framework of the Attachment Theory, findings suggest that failure to resolve attachment-related distress is related to the emergence of negative self/other models in adults. Such internal models are likely to attenuate the association between neuroticism and extraversion with depressive symptoms, hopelessness and suicidal ideation.
