TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Coping, reasons for living, and suicide in black college students JO - Journal of counseling and development A1 - Wang, M.-c. A1 - Nyutu, P.N. A1 - Tran, K.K. SP - 459 EP - 466 VL - 90 IS - 4 N2 - The authors examined the roles of reasons for living and coping in protecting against suicidal behaviors among 361 Black college students.

RESULTS of a path analysis revealed that reasons for living mediated against suicidal ideation through an inverse effect on depression.

RESULTS also indicated that greater use of emotion-oriented coping may lead to suicidal ideation through increased depression and decreased reasons for living, whereas avoidance-oriented coping protected against suicide. Implications for these results are further discussed. © 2012 by the American Counseling Association. All rights reserved.
