Sažetak
Background: Suicidal ideation is not restricted to psychiatric patients. To the contrary, it is not uncommon in the general
population and constitutes a precursor for suicide attempts and completed suicides. While risk factors for suicidality have extensively
been described, much less attention has been devoted to the investigation of protective factors. In the current study we investigated
two of such potential protective factors in combination, namely trait emotional intelligence (EI) and resilience in a sample of
university students.
Subjects and methods: We recruited 277 university students without an active physical or mental disorder requiring medical
attention via an online questionnaire and assessed lifetime and four-week suicidal ideation. Resilience was measured with the
Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, EI with the Self-report Emotional Ability Scale and stressful life events with the Social
Readjustment Rating Scale. Logistic regression was used to investigate the effect of EI and resilience on lifetime and four-week
suicidal ideation.
Results: Resilience as well as intrapersonal trait EI factors were significantly lower in individuals who reported lifetime suicidal
ideation. The regression analysis revealed tgulation of one's own emotion
significant predictors of lifetime and/or four-week suicidal ideation. Neither trait EI nor resilience had a moderating effect on the
relationship between life events and suicidality.
Conclusions: Low intrapersonal EI and low resilience are associated with lifetime and, in part, four-week suicidal ideation.
