TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - Social problem-solving deficits and hopelessness, depression, and suicidal risk in college students and psychiatric inpatients JO - Journal of clinical psychology (Hoboken) A1 - D'Zurilla, T. J. A1 - Chang, E. C. A1 - Nottingham, E. J. A1 - Faccini, L. SP - 1091 EP - 1107 VL - 54 IS - 8 N2 - The Social Problem-Solving Inventory-Revised was used to examine the relations between problem-solving abilities and hopelessness, depression, and suicidal risk in three different samples: undergraduate college students, general psychiatric inpatients, and suicidal psychiatric inpatients. A similar pattern of results was found in both college students and psychiatric patients: a negative problem orientation was most highly correlated with all three criterion variables, followed by either a positive problem orientation or an avoidance problem-solving style. Rational problem-solving skills emerged as an important predictor variable in the suicidal psychiatric sample. Support was found for a prediction model of suicidal risk that includes problem-solving deficits and hopelessness, with partial support being found for including depression in the model as well.
