Psychological Characteristics of College Students with Suicide Risk in MMPI-2-RF

Abstract

This study examined psychological characteristics of college students with suicide risk in MMPI-2-RF. Among 204 students who visited counseling centers at 4 universities in Seoul, 85 students with suicide risk were selected according to BSS screening criteria. A series of hierarchical regression analyses was performed to examine whether MMPI-2-RF higher-order scales, restructured clinical scales, internalizing scales, and interpersonal scales can significantly predict suicide risk after controlling for gender. The results showed significant prediction of MMPI-2-RF scales for suicide risk. Severity of mental pain (EID) and impulsive acting-out tendency of that mental pain (BXD) were identified as important psychological characteristics of college students with suicide risk. Clinical implication and limitations of this study were further discussed.
