Abstract

Introduction: Emotional variability has been identified as a risk factor for adolescent psychopathology. This study explored the cross-sectional and prospective associations between emotional variability and suicidal ideation and examined the moderating role of parent-adolescent connectedness.

Methods: Participants included 108 Taiwanese late adolescents (Mage = 18.53, SDage = 0.39; 64% female) who completed ecological momentary assessment (EMA) over 14 days, and baseline and follow-up assessments over 6 months.

Results: Results indicated that while negative emotional (NE) and positive emotional (PE) variability were not associated with suicidal ideation at baseline, both predicted increased suicidal ideation 6 months later. Furthermore, parent-adolescent connectedness moderated the relationship between NE variability and suicidal ideation, with high connectedness mitigating the adverse effects of NE variability.

Conclusions: These findings suggest that emotional variability is a key predictor for the development of suicidal ideation and highlight the protective role of parent-adolescent connectedness. Interventions promoting family connectedness may be effective in reducing suicidal risk among emotionally variable youth.

情绪变异与青少年晚期自杀意念：亲子连通性的缓冲作用。

情绪变异性已被确定为青少年精神病理的一个危险因素。本研究探讨了情绪变异性与自杀意念之间的横断面和前瞻性关联，并检验了亲子联系的调节作用。方法：纳入108名台湾晚期青少年(Mage = 18.53, SDage = 0.39；64%女性)，在14天内完成生态瞬时评估（EMA），并在6个月内完成基线和随访评估。结果：结果表明，虽然负性情绪（NE）和正性情绪（PE）变异性在基线时与自杀意念无关，但两者都预示着6个月后自杀意念的增加。此外，父母-青少年连通性调节了新心理变异与自杀意念之间的关系，高连通性减轻了新心理变异的不利影响。结论：这些研究结果表明情绪变异性是自杀意念发展的关键预测因子，并强调了亲子联系的保护作用。促进家庭联系的干预措施可能有效地降低情绪多变的青少年的自杀风险。

期刊介绍： An excellent resource for researchers as well as students, Social Cognition features reports on empirical research, self-perception, self-concept, social neuroscience, person-memory integration, social schemata, the development of social cognition, and the role of affect in memory and perception. Three broad concerns define the scope of the journal: - The processes underlying the perception, memory, and judgment of social stimuli - The effects of social, cultural, and affective factors on the processing of information - The behavioral and interpersonal consequences of cognitive processes.
