abstract="In this study, we investigated (1) Japanese university students' actual &quot;difficulty in living&quot; and (2) its association with suicidal ideation. The Difficulty in Living Questionnaire was administered to 547 Japanese university students. <br><br>RESULTS revealed that 37.5% of the students felt difficulty in living, and 21.0% had ongoing suicidal ideation. An exploratory factor analysis resulted in a three-factor model, and multiple regression analysis showed that factors &quot;external self-insufficiency&quot; and &quot;feeling of emptiness&quot; significantly predicted suicidal ideation. To prevent young Japanese adults from committing suicide, increasing their self-affirmation and feelings of value among other people is crucial.<br><br>Copyright © 2019 Elsevier B.V.
