Abstract

In order to investigate the relationship between hope and suicidal ideation among junior high school students and the moderating effect of gender, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 1906 junior high school students in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China. The results showed that :(1) there was a significant negative correlation between hope and suicidal ideation (r=0.411, p<0.01); (2) gender significantly moderated the relationship between hope and suicide ideation. Specifically, compared with boys in junior high school, girls' hope had a greater influence on suicidal ideation. Therefore, in the course of suicide intervention for junior high school students, gender differences should be considered and the quality of hope should be emphasized.
