Suicidality and Cognitive Vulnerability to Depression among College Students: A Prospective Study.

Abramson, Lyn Y.; Alloy, Lauren B.; Hogan, Michael E.; Whitehouse, Wayne G.; Cornette, Michelle; Akhavan, Sogoli; Chiara, Alexandra

Journal of Adolescence, v21 n4 p473-87 Aug 1998

Using a behavioral high-risk two-site prospective design, the cognitive vulnerability hypothesis about suicide was evaluated. During the 2.5-year follow-up high cognitive risk participants were more likely than those with low risk to exhibit suicidality. Obtained relationship between cognitive vulnerability and suicidality was mediated by hopelessness and not by other factors. (Author/EMK)
