TY - JOUR PY - 2003// TI - Coping responses of adolescent suicide attempters and their relation to suicidal ideation across a 2-year follow-up: a preliminary study JO - Suicide and life-threatening behavior A1 - Wagner, Barry M. A1 - Piquet, Michele L. SP - 288 EP - 301 VL - 33 IS - 3 N2 - The coping responses of 23 hospitalized adolescent suicide attempters were compared to those of 19 hospitalized non-attempters matched on diagnosis and demographics. Relative to the comparison group, suicide attempters made fewer effortful-approach and more automatic-approach coping responses, and were judged by trained raters to have coped less effectively. Coders' ratings of greater coping effectiveness among suicide attempters were associated with a greater decline in suicidal symptoms assessed at 6-month follow-up intervals across a 2-year period. The findings are discussed in light of a model of coping that incorporates both individual differences and situational characteristics. LA - SN - 0363-0234 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
