Abstract

Objective: Exploring the impact of negative life events on suicidal ideation among college students and the moderating role of mental toughness in the relationship. Methods: The Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Scale (ASLEC), the Mental Toughness Scale (CD-RISC), and the Self-Inventory of Suicidal Ideation Scale (SIOSS) were used to survey 318 college students. Results: 1) 21.33% of college students had suicidal thoughts in the past year, with a higher proportion of women than men, and a higher proportion of freshmen and seniors; 2) Negative life events and suicidal ideation were significantly positively correlated (r=0.382, p<0.01); mental toughness and suicidal ideation were significantly negatively correlated (r= -0.457, p<0.01); 3) Higher Mental Toughness Significantly Reduces the Impact of Negative Events on Suicidal Ideation in College Students. Conclusion: Suicidal ideation in college students is directly influenced by negative life events, and the degree of influence between the two is moderat-ed by the mental toughness factor. That is, suicidal ideation can be mitigated and reduced by helping college students increase their level of mental toughness.
