Problem Solving, Stress, and Coping in Adolescent Suicide Attempts.

Wilson, Keith G.; And Others

Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, v25 n2 p241-52 Sum 1995

Twenty adolescents who had made suicide attempts are compared with 20 nonpsychiatric subjects on measures of problem solving, stress, and coping. Findings support a transactional model of adolescent suicidal behavior whereby inaccuracies in the appraisal of problem solving while under high stress lead to a reduction in the use of adaptive coping efforts.
