Abstract

The present study aimed to validate a Korean version of the Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire in a college student sample. Three hundred and one students completed the scale and other measures of suicidal ideation, loneliness, interpersonal support, responsibility to family, meaning in life, fearlessness about death, anxiety and depression.

RESULTS revealed that the scale has two-factor structure (thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness) and it also has good internal consistency, convergent validity and discriminant validity. Cultural comparisons showed that the levels of thwarted belongingness in Korean college students were higher than those in the U.S. college students.
