  • Title: Depression, delinquency, and suicidal behaviors among college students.
    Author: Bauer RL, Chesin MS, Jeglic EL.
    Journal: Crisis; 2014; 35(1):36-41. PubMed ID: 24067247.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Liu (2004) investigated the interaction between delinquency and depression among adolescents and found that delinquency moderated the relationship between depression and suicidal behaviors. AIMS: This study also explored the relationship between depression, delinquency, and suicidal behaviors, although delinquency was expected to mediate, as opposed to moderate, the relationship between depression and suicidal behaviors. METHOD: The participants comprised 354 college students. The students completed a series of questionnaires measuring delinquent behavior, depressive symptoms, and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. RESULTS: Contrary to Liu's (2004) findings, delinquency was found not to moderate but rather to partially mediate the relationship between depression and suicidal behaviors. CONCLUSION: The findings suggest that for some college students, depression is associated with delinquent behaviors, which, in turn, are associated with suicidal behaviors.
