Perceived and Internalized Stigma Towards Suicide and Their Roles in Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors Among Chinese College Students
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Although perceived and internalized suicide stigma are considered risk factors for suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs), their specific roles in STBs are not well understood. This study examined the relationships among perceived and internalized suicide stigma, hopelessness, unbearable pain, suicidal desire, and suicide attempts in college students. A total of 1,387 Chinese college students (mean age: 22.22 years) completed the relevant scales. Structural equation modeling was used to determine the relationships of interest. The results showed that perceived stigma primarily had indirect impacts on suicidal desire through internalized stigma, which subsequently affected unbearable pain and hopelessness. The findings of this study suggest that the internalization of suicide stigma is an important predictor of STBs. These findings advocate for stigma interventions aimed at reducing internalized stigma as a potentially effective strategy for suicide prevention, as it may alleviate unbearable pain and hopelessness, which are significant contributors to suicidal desire and attempts.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
