Abstract:
Objective:To explore the moderating effect of emotional regulation strategies between maladaptive perfectionism and suicidal risk in college students.Methods:Totally 1084 college students[mean age(19 ± 1)years old] in Guangdong were surveyed with the maladaptive subscale of the Chinese version of Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale(CFMPS,including concern over mistakes,parental criticism and doubts about actions),Emotion regulation Scale(ERS,including cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression),and the Suicide Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised(SBQ-R).Results:The SBQ-R scores were positively correlated with the scores of expressive suppression,maladaptive perfectionism,concern over mistakes,parental criticism and doubts about actions(r =0.14 -0.28,Ps ＜0.01).SBQ-R scores were negatively correlated with the scores of cognitive reappraisal(r =-0.19,P ＜0.01).Maladaptive perfectionism positively predicated suicidal risk(β =0.39,P ＜ 0.001),cognitive reappraisal and the interaction between cognitive reappraisal and maladaptive perfectionism negatively predicated suicidal risk(β =-0.17,-0.14,Ps ＜0.001).Conclusion:It suggests that college students who have higher level of maladaptive perfectionism tend to have higher suicidal risk,and cognitive reappraisal may moderate the relationship between maladaptive perfectionism and suicidal risk.
