TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Gratitude and Suicidal Ideation in Undergraduates in Taiwan: The Mediating Role of Self-Esteem and Meaning in Life JO - OMEGA - Journal of death and dying A1 - Lin, Chih-Che SP - 177 EP - 193 VL - 84 IS - 1 N2 - This study examined both the mediation effects of self-esteem and meaning in life for the relationship between gratitude and suicidal ideation in late adolescence. A total of 276 Taiwanese university students completed measures of gratitude, self-esteem, meaning in life, and suicidal ideation. Path analyses indicated that self-esteem and meaning in life acted as full mediators of the association between gratitude and suicidal ideation. The identified model also revealed a significant path from gratitude through self-esteem and meaning in life to suicidal ideation. A multigroup analysis found that the paths did not differ by genders. Implications for future research and limitations of the present findings are discussed.
