abstract="OBJECTIVE: It is important to understand factors that moderate the likelihood of developing suicidal thoughts following traumatic exposure and posttraumatic stress symptoms. <br><br>METHOD: In this cross-sectional study, a moderated atemporal mediation analysis was conducted in a sample of 709 college students (71% female, M <sub>age</sub>  = 19.90 years, 67% Caucasian) to test the associations between trauma, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, and suicidal ideation, with grit entered as a moderator of all paths in the equation. <br><br>RESULTS: PTSD symptoms mediated the association between trauma and suicidal ideation. Grit moderated the direct pathway from PTSD symptoms to suicidal ideation. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Grit and other constructs of resiliency may inform strength-focused interventions to remediate the impact of trauma and posttraumatic stress symptoms and potentially reduce suicidal thoughts and risk for suicide.<br><br>© 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
