abstract="OBJECTIVE: Research has demonstrated that a lack of social support is related to suicide risk. This study exams perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness, of the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide, as mechanisms of the social support-suicide relationship in college students. <br><br>METHOD: The study consisted of 207 students from a Midwestern university. Data were collected from 2007-2008. Two multiple mediation analyses were conducted to examine whether perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness mediated the relationship between indices of social support and suicide ideation. <br><br>RESULTS: Perceived burdensomeness mediated the relationships between perceived social support and suicide ideation (95% CI -.02 to -.00, effect size = -.01) and social connectedness and suicide ideation (95% CI -.03 to -.00, effect size = -.03). Thwarted belongingness did not mediate either relationship. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that a lack of social support could lead to perceptions of being a burden on others, which could lead to suicide ideation.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
