Abstract

Purpose

Optimism and social problem solving were examined as predictors of depressive symptoms and suicidal behaviors in Latinx adults.

Methods

A total of 572 (424 female and 148 male) Latinx college students participated in the present study.

Results

Regression analyses, controlling for sociodemographic factors (e.g., age, sex, immigration status) and past suicide attempts, indicated that optimism accounted for a significant amount of the variance in depressive symptoms and suicidal behaviors. Moreover, the inclusion of social problem solving was found to further augment the prediction model by accounting for additional unique variance in depressive symptoms and suicidal behaviors. Within the social problem-solving set, negative problem orientation was consistently found to be the only significant unique predictor. Finally, an examination for an Optimism × Social Problem Solving interaction effect resulted in identifying a significant Pessimism × Negative Problem Orientation effect in predicting depressive symptoms and suicidal behaviors. Importantly, negative problem orientation was associated with both greater depressive symptoms and suicidal behaviors among those with less than high levels of optimism.

Conclusion

These findings point to the additive and interactive role of negative expectancies, namely, pessimism and negative problem orientation, in accounting for greater depressive symptoms and suicidal behaviors in Latinx adults.

踌躇满志》(Expectativas Oscuras):预测拉美裔青年抑郁症状和自杀行为时同时存在的消极问题导向和悲观主义所带来的额外负担
结果在控制了社会人口学因素(如年龄、性别、移民身份)和既往自杀尝试后进行的回归分析表明,乐观情绪在抑郁症状和自杀行为的变异中占了相当大的比例。此外,研究还发现,将社会问题解决纳入预测模型还能进一步增加抑郁症状和自杀行为的独特变异性。在社会问题解决模型中,消极问题取向一直是唯一显著的独特预测因子。最后,对乐观×社会问题解决交互效应的研究结果表明,在预测抑郁症状和自杀行为方面,悲观×消极问题取向效应显著。重要的是,在乐观程度低于高度乐观的人群中,消极问题取向与更严重的抑郁症状和自杀行为都有关联。 结论:这些研究结果表明,消极预期(即悲观主义和消极问题取向)在导致拉丁裔成年人更严重的抑郁症状和自杀行为方面起着叠加和交互作用。
