TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Future orientation and suicide risk in Hungarian college students: burdensomeness and belongingness as mediators JO - Death studies A1 - Chang, Edward C. A1 - Chang, Olivia D.

The sample was comprised of 195 Hungarian college students.

RESULTS indicated that the negative associations found between future orientation and suicide risk outcomes were accounted for by both perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness. The present findings highlight the importance of studying positive future cognitions in suicide risk, and provide support for perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness as potential proximal mechanisms associated with heighted suicide risk in adults.
