What is Interpersonal and Intrapersonal Predictors of Suicidal Thoughts and Actions in First-year College Students about?

## Objective: The aim was to determine the unique predictors of suicide risk in first-year college students. ## Participants: First-year students (n = 665) at a midwestern university participated. ## Methods: An online survey assessed joiner's interpersonal factors (i.e., thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness, and acquired capability) as well as intrapersonal factors (i.e., perfectionism, self-compassion, emotional intelligence/reactivity, and growth mindset) often associated with suicidal thoughts and actions. ## Results: Linear regression indicated that the factor set significantly predicted thoughts, (12, 632) = 114.90, < .000, r = .680, and actions, (12, 632) = 58.42, < .000, r = .526. perceived burdensomeness, acquired capability, and underrepresented sexual orientation were positive predictors of both thoughts and actions, whereas growth mindset was a negative predictor of thoughts and stressful life events was a positive predictor of actions. ## Conclusion: The results offer direction for evidence-informed interventions aimed at reducing suicide risk in first-year college students.
