| Popis: | Objective Goals were to empirically examine cultural suicide pathways initially theorized by the cultural theory and model of suicide, by examining relationships between cultural (family conflict, minority stress, cultural suicide sanctions), general distress (depression, hopelessness), and cultural idioms of distress factors as predictors of suicidal ideation and attempts. Method Path analysis examined a moderated mediation model with a community sample of 1,077 ethnic minority and/or LGBTQ adults (average age of 24.32 (SD = 10.23) ranging from 18 to 88, 299 LGBTQ, 447 Asian American, 196 Latino/a, 60 Black or African American, 8 Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, 6 Arab American, 2 Native American, 187 mixed race). Results Multiple pathways of statistical significance emerged. First, cultural life events (family conflict and minority stress) showed direct paths to ideation and attempts and indirect paths through general (depression and hopelessness) and cultural idioms of distress to ideation and attempts. The path from minority stress to ideation was entirely explained by general/cultural distress. Second, cultural suicide sanctions moderated the relationship between family conflict and ideation. Third, cultural idioms of distress was an important component of overall distress, alongside depression and hopelessness, predicting attempts and ideation. Conclusions Findings elucidated pathways involving both general distress and cultural factors, and pathways from cultural life events to suicide constructs independent of mental illness-related factors. Findings question utilizing mental illness as a primary suicide driver, make theoretical contributions in refining the cultural theory and model of suicide, and advance understandings of roles of cultural factors in suicide research and practice.
