Abstract
This study examined the psychometric properties of the Suicide Resilience Inventory-25 (SRl-25; Osman et al., 2004) among Chinese and American college students. This instrument was designed to tap into the factors that help defend against suicidal thoughts and behaviors and includes three factors: Internal Protective (IP), External Protective (EP), and Emotional Control (EC). Three hundred and eighteen Chinese college students and 328 American college students completed the Chinese or English version of the SRI-25, the Multi-Attitude Suicide Tendency scale (MAST; Orbach et al., 1991), and the Suicide Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised (SBQ-R; Osman et al., 2001). American participants scored significantly higher on the SRI-25 total score and each subscale than their Chinese counterparts. American female students scored significantly higher than American male students on external protective factors; however, there were no significant gender differences on the subscales of the SRI-25 among Chinese students. The SRI-25 total score significantly correlated with the SBQ-R and all MAST subscales except Repulsion by Death in both countries. The SRl-25 showed adequate psychometric properties in both cultures as well as an ability to distinguish between American and Chinese college student samples.
