Using a cluster sampling method, 894 college students were asked to fill out the adolescent life event scale, ruminative response scale, and suicidal ideation scale. The study revealed the following: (1) negative life events, rumination, and suicidal ideation were significantly positively correlated with each other; (2) rumination played a full mediating role in the influence of negative life events on suicidal ideation; and (3) rumination also played a moderating role in the influence of negative life events on suicidal ideation. Under a high level of rumination, negative life events had a significant positive effect on suicidal ideation in college students; however, under a low level of rumination, negative life events did not have a significant effect on suicidal ideation. Rumination played mediating and moderating roles in the relationship between negative life events and suicidal ideation among college students.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph17082646","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,13]],"date-time":"2020-04-13T04:45:31Z","timestamp":1586753131000},"page":"2646","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["The Influence of Negative Life Events on Suicidal Ideation in College Students: The Role of Rumination"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Shuai","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Marxism, Dalian University of Technology, No. 2 Linggong Road, Ganjingzi District, Dalian 116024, China"},{"name":"Students\u2019 Affairs Department, Dalian University, No. 10 Xuefu Street, Dalian Economic and Technological Development Zone, Dalian 116622, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Huilan","family":"Jing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Marxism, Dalian University of Technology, No. 2 Linggong Road, Ganjingzi District, Dalian 116024, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liang","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Marxism, University of Science and Technology Liaoning, No. 189 Middle Qianshan Road, Lishan District, Anshan 114051, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Psychological Development, Tsinghua University, No. 30 Shuangqing Road, Haidian District, Beijing 100084, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Resnik, H.L.P., and Hathorne, B.C.
