Abstract

In the present study, researchers want to find out (a) the relationship of various domains of cognitive emotion regulation and several domains of personal meaning with suicidal ideation and (b) the relative contribution of cognitive emotion regulation and personal meaning on suicidal ideation among undergraduate college students. In the present study, the sample consists of two hundred female undergraduate college students, age ranging from 18-21 years. The Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Garnefski et al., 2001), Personal Meaning Profile (Wong, 1993), The Adult Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire (ASIQ) (Raynolds, 1991) were administered on students. Result findings reveal that highly positive significant correlations were found between suicidal ideation and two domains of cognitive emotion regulation, i.e., Self Blame and Catastrophizing. On the other hand two other domains of cognitive emotion regulation, i.e., Positive Refocussing and Positive Reappraisal and two domains of Personal Meaning Profile, i.e., Achievement and Self-Acceptance have significant negative correlation with suicidal ideation. Result also reveals that positive reappraisal (negatively), self-blame (positively) and achievement (negatively) significantly contribute to suicidal ideation among college students.

Abstract

Identification and community based interventions of stigma are essential aspects of mental health. Considering this context, on the basis of theoretical conceptualization of stigma related to mental illness and current socio-cultural scenario, we attempted to construct a Bengali standardized scale to measure 'mental illness stigma in general population'. Initially, content of the fifty seven items were generated from experts' opinions under the domains of three components of stigma- 'stereotypes (cognitive knowledge structures), evoked emotions and attitudinal/behavioural consequences' with three point rating response category using vignettes(depicting any psychiatric disorder, here schizophrenia was considered). Then the scale was administered on 522 Bengali speaking, graduate participates (age range 25-40 years)for item analysis processes. Finally, 54 items were retained considering significant item total correlation and explored under components using exploratory factor analysis. Satisfactory test retest and internal consistency reliability were found for all domains of newly developed stigma scale.
