摘要

The current study aims to examine the potential moderating effect of collectivism/individualism on the association between perceived burdensomeness and suicidal ideation/behavior among Iranian students. By exploring the role of collectivist/individualist values, the study aims to provide insights into the interplay between perceived burdensomeness and suicide risk in a non-Western cultural context. A sample of 584 Iranian students (63.7% women; Mage = 24.33; SDage = 6.32; aged 18 to 60 years) participated in this cross-sectional study. The study employed self-report measures to assess collectivism/individualism, perceived burdensomeness, and suicidal ideation/behavior. The results show that perceived burdensomeness is positively correlated with suicidal ideation/behavior, whereas horizontal individualism, horizontal collectivism, and vertical collectivism are negatively correlated with suicidal ideation/behavior. A moderation analysis indicates that horizontal individualism plays a crucial role in enhancing the association between perceived burdensomeness and suicidal ideation/behavior. In conclusion, this study highlights the impact of individualistic factors and perceived burdensomeness on individuals’ vulnerability to suicidal ideation/behavior. To develop successful suicide prevention strategies, these findings highlight the importance of considering cultural orientations when assessing suicide risk. Future research should examine how specific cultural values, such as independence and interdependence, influence the experience of perceived burdensomeness and the development of suicidal ideation and behaviors.
