Suicidality and personality in American and Kuwaiti students.
In samples of American and Kuwaiti college students, current and prior suicidal preoccupation were associated with measures of psychological disturbance, with depression being the strongest predictor of suicidality in both samples. Although the Kuwaiti students were more depressed than the American students, they reported less prior suicidal preoccupation.
