Exploring the inter-factor network of psychological abuse, life-event stress, and suicidal behavior: evidence from Chinese college students
These findings suggest that suicide risk emerges from dynamic interactions among interrelated psychological systems rather than from linear causal pathways. By identifying bridge nodes-particularly arousal and intrusive stress responses-this study highlights potential leverage points for targeted, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive suicide prevention efforts among college students.
