| Summary: | Suicide has become a debilitating issue. Although it is a preventable condition but failure to understand the thinking pattern could significantly dampen the effort to avert it. Despite being an important issue, there is still a lack of study centralising into the thinking pattern when suicidal thoughts are mooted in. Due to this gap, this study was set to examine the relationship between cognitive distortion and suicidal ideation. Using purposive sampling 414 students whose were seeking
career advice were recruited to participate in this study. Results indicated that there was a significant
relationship between cognitive distortion and suicidal ideation. Using multiple regression, the finding
showed that out of 10 thinking patterns, Overgeneralisation contributes the most to the suicidal
thoughts. These findings will help professionals to understand better the nature of suicidal ideation
and assist them in providing better services and alleviating its symptoms. This study also discussed
the limitations and the directions for future research. |
