Özet
Suicide cognitions are maladaptive thought patterns that may heighten vulnerability to depressive outcomes. This study examined the prospective indirect associations of pre-sleep arousal and resilience in the relationship between suicide cognitions and depression sensitivity using two separate cross-lagged panel models (CLPMs). Data were collected in two waves (T1 and T2) over a 5-month interval. After matching participants across waves, the final sample comprised 280 Turkish university students (M age = 22.35 years, SD = 3.88). Participants completed the Brief Suicide Cognitions Scale, Depression Sensitivity Index, Pre-Sleep Arousal Scale, and Brief Resilience Scale. Structural equation modeling was employed to test two-wave CLPMs while controlling for the baseline levels of the study variables, age, and gender. Higher suicide cognitions at T1 were associated with higher pre-sleep arousal and lower resilience at T2 after controlling for respective baseline levels. Meanwhile, higher pre-sleep arousal and lower resilience at T1 were associated with greater depression sensitivity at T2 after controlling for baseline depression sensitivity. The direct associations between T1 suicide cognitions and T2 depression sensitivity were not statistically significant in either CLPM. However, the bootstrapped indirect associations through both pre-sleep arousal and resilience were statistically significant. These findings offer preliminary evidence regarding cognitive, physiological, and emotional processes that may be associated with vulnerability to depression in university students who experience suicide cognitions.
