Abstract

Suicide is one of the major causes of death for college students. Based on an individual-centered perspective, this study explored the relationship between the potential categories of impulsivity traits and suicidal ideation and suicide risk. The Chinese Version of Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSI-CV) and the UPPS Impulsive Behavior Scale were used to conduct a questionnaire survey of 857 college students. The results found that there were four potential categories of impulsivity traits: lack of perseverance - premeditation, balanced, low urgency - lack of perseverance, and high urgency - sensation seeking. The four categories differed in their performance in suicidal ideation and suicide risk. The results suggest that the two subcategories of impulsive personality traits (lack of perseverance - premeditation and high urgency - sensation seeking) are high-risk areas for suicide.
