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

Thomas E. Joiner,Jeremy W. Pettit,Rheeda L. Walker,Zachary R. Voelz,Jacqueline Cruz,M. David Rudd,David Lester +6 more
TL;DR: The authors found that perceived burdensomeness may be related to more lethal means of suicide among those who complete suicide, whereas other dimensions (e.g., hopelessness, emotional pain) may not differentiate completers from attempters.

The multidimensional scale of perceived social support: dimensionality and age and gender differences in adolescents
TL;DR: The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) as discussed by the authors was administered to 2105 high school students in Hong Kong and the results showed that the higher-order factors were completely redundant with the first-order factor of significant other support which appeared to measure both friends and family support.

Differential relations of depression and social anxiety symptoms to the facets of extraversion/positive emotionality.
TL;DR: Structural equation modeling revealed that, after controlling for the higher order internalizing factor and the overlap among the E/ PE facets, social anxiety was broadly related to all 4 facets of E/PE, whereas depression was strongly related to only low positive emotionality.
