Abstract
Purpose: Rates of internalizing symptoms and suicide risk are increasing among emerging adult populations. The current study highlighted resiliency factors, including prosocial behavior and self-esteem, and their longitudinal associations with depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and suicidal risk.
Methods: Participants included 472 emerging adults at 2 time points (Time 1 M age = 18.37, 52% women; Time 2 M age = 23.31).
Results: Results from path analyses suggested that prosocial behavior toward family members at Time 1 was associated with lower levels of depressive symptoms and suicidal risk at Time 2 via emerging adults' self-esteem.
Discussion: Findings highlight the importance of family relationships during the transition to adulthood in protecting against internalizing symptoms and suicide risk.
