TLDR
In this paper, the correlates and predictors of suicidal ideation were examined in 303 male and 691 female undergraduates and the results indicated that hopelessness predicted suicide ideation in both samples; however, depression was a significant suicide risk factor only in women.Abstract:
The correlates and predictors of suicidal ideation were examined in 303 male and 691 female undergraduates. Results indicated that hopelessness predicted suicidal ideation in both samples; however, depression was found to be a significant suicide risk factor only in women. In contrast, alcohol-related problems and social support from family predicted suicidal ideation in men, but not in women. In addition, for both men and women perceived burdensomeness was a suicide risk factor and reasons for living a protective factor. When assessing risk for suicide, our results suggest that practitioners may need to focus more on depressive symptoms in women and more on alcohol-related problems in men, while considering hopelessness, perceived burdensomeness, and reasons for living regardless of gender. Prevention programs which target these identified risk and protective factors for suicidality should be developed specifically for college men and women.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationships between grit, hope, optimism, and their unique and overlapping relationships in predicting suicide ideation using a factor analytic approach, and found that four of the five factors (including Stick-to-Itiveness, Poor Future, Consistency of Interest, Positive Future, and Poor Pathways) were associated with suicidal ideation.

The measurement of pessimism: the hopelessness scale.
TL;DR: A scale designed to quantify hopelessness was administered to several diverse samples of patients to assess its psychometric properties and was found to have a high degree of internal consistency and showed a relatively high correlation with the clinical ratings of hopelessness and other self-administered measures of despair.
