The development of suicidal thoughts in adolescence – Article by the MUSA group for Scientific Reports – Nature
According to a study by the MUSA (Social Changes, Evaluation and Methods) research group, suicidal thoughts today involve around half of Italian adolescents.
Article The developmental process of suicidal ideation among adolescents: social and psychological impact from a nation-wide survey – just published in the magazine Scientific Reports of Nature – investigates the mechanism that leads to the development of such thoughts.
From the survey conducted by Antonio Tintori, Loredana Cerbara e Giulia Ciancimino, IRPPS, with Maurizio Pompili, UniSapienza, and Gianni Corsetti, ISTAT, the psychological disorders that fuel suicidal thoughts do not constitute the origin of the problem, traced, instead, in particular dynamics of social interaction and in specific socio-demographic characteristics.
The interdisciplinary epistemological approach adopted has also made it possible to show how factors usually considered influential, such as tolerance for the use of alcohol and psychotropic substances in general, are in fact only secondary in explaining the phenomenon.
