摘要

Suicide is a leading cause of death. One factor of theoretical relevance to suicide risk that remains understudied is emotion beliefs– defined as the views that individuals hold about the nature of emotions. The present study bridges this gap in suicide risk and emotion beliefs literature by examining the main and interactive effects of emotion beliefs on suicidal ideation across three samples. Study 1 included 371 college students, Study 2 included 143 adult community participants, and Study 3 was a preliminary study that included 20 participants with borderline personality disorder. All participants completed questionnaires of emotion beliefs, negative affect, and suicidal ideation. Study 1 and 2 found that beliefs that one’s emotions were less malleable, more unique, and longer were associated with more suicidal ideation. Additionally, emotion malleability beliefs were associated with less suicidal ideation only at higher levels of negative affect. Interestingly, among a sample of individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) emotion malleability beliefs were associated with higher suicidal ideation at lower levels of negative affect. Findings provide consistent support for some association between emotion beliefs and suicidal ideation, although the specific emotional contexts under which these associations emerge differ across samples. Limitations include the cross-sectional and correlational nature of the studies’ designs. Emotion beliefs are amenable to intervention, and could be considered as a target in suicide care.
