Love Relationship Satisfaction, Love Styles and Suicidal Ideation Among University Students

Abstract

The suicide rate is increasing at an alarming pace, even among university students. Thus, this study attempted to identify suicidal ideation among university students through the perspective of love relationships (love satisfaction, love styles) and gender differences. A random sampling method has been carried out to collect the data. Analysis of the responses demonstrated that love relationship satisfaction was not associated with suicidal ideation among university students. On the other hand, there is a positive relationship between love styles and suicidal ideation among university students. Furthermore, love styles have a positive association with love relationship satisfaction. In addition, there is a significant difference between genders in suicidal ideation among university students, with females having higher suicidal ideation than males.
