Abstract
Objective To investigate the mediating effect of the positive and the negative strategy of cognitive emotion regulation on the relationship between life events and suicide ideation among college students, as well as the moderating effect of social support on the mediation model. Methods Participants were 2 471 college students in Hunan province, and they completed the Adolescent Self-rating Life Events Check List, the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, the Social Support Scale for university students and the Suicide Ideation Questionnaire for university students. Results Negative strategy of cognitive emotion regulation played a mediating role between life events and suicide ideation among college students (β=0.17, t=8.43, P<0.01). Mediating effect quoted 0.28×(0.18-0.05U). Social Support (U) played a moderating role on the second path of mediation (β=-0.05, t=-2.47, P<0.05). When U changed one unit, mediating effect changed 0.05 unit. Conclusion Life events influence suicide ideation through negative strategy, and with social support increasing, the effect of negative strategy on suicidal ideation weakened. Key words: Life events; Suicide ideation; Cognitive emotion regulation; Social support; College students
