Testing the Integrated Motivational-Volitional Model of Suicidal Behavior in Chinese Adolescents.
The integrated motivational-volitional model of suicidal behavior (IMV; O'Connor & Kirtley, 2018) integrates some key factors of suicidal behavior (e.g., defeat and entrapment) to explain the development of suicidal ideation and suicidal attempts. This study aimed to empirically test this model in a sample of Chinese adolescents. A number of 1,239 Chinese adolescents (679 girls; Mage = 14.07, SD = 1.54) completed self-report questionnaires. Results showed that defeat was associated with entrapment, which, in turn, was related to suicidal ideation and suicidal attempts. In addition, the relationship between entrapment and suicidal ideation was significant at high levels of thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness, and low levels of resilience. These findings support the application of the IMV model in Chinese adolescents, and might help mental health organizations and educational agencies formulate effective suicidal prevention programs geared toward Chinese adolescents.
