TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Prospective study on suicidal ideation among Japanese undergraduate students: correlation with stressful life events, depression, and depressogenic cognitive patterns JO - Archives of suicide research A1 - Hiramura, Hidetoshi A1 - Shono, Masahiro A1 - Tanaka, Nobuhiko A1 - Nagata, Toshiaki A1 - Kitamura, Toshinori SP - 238 EP - 250 VL - 12 IS - 3 N2 - The present study examines the effects of stressful life events, depression, and depressogenic cognitive patterns on suicidal ideation in 500 Japanese undergraduate students. The above factors were assessed at baseline (T1) and two weeks later (T3). At T1, structural equation modeling confirmed that (1) cognitive patterns and depression, but not stressful life events, influence suicidal ideation, and (2) cognitive patterns also influence suicidal ideation through depression. These findings were confirmed in a longitudinal analysis. The results suggest that the effects of stressful life events on suicidal ideation are indirect and are mediated by depressogenic cognitive styles and depressed mood.
