TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Belongingness and suicidal ideation in college students JO - Journal of American college health A1 - Ploskonka, Rachel A. A1 - Servaty-Seib, Heather L. SP - 81 EP - 87 VL - 63 IS - 2 N2 - OBJECTIVE: In this study, the relationships between 3 specific domains of belongingness (ie, family, peers, and academic institution) were examined with respect to suicidal ideation. Participants: A sample (N = 249) of undergraduate students was recruited from a large, midwestern university during the Spring 2013 semester.

METHODS: Multiple regression analysis examined whether the 3 specific domains of belongingness (ie, family, peers, and academic institution) significantly contributed to explaining variance in suicidal ideation.

RESULTS: Findings indicated that the 3 domains of belongingness accounted for 9.4% of the variance for suicidal ideation. Family belongingness was the only domain of belongingness that made a significant, unique, and negative contribution to suicidal ideation.

CONCLUSIONS: Students' family belongingness seems to have a significant role in their manifestation of suicidal ideation.
