Abstract: Suicide rates have risen among emerging adults of Asian descent, yet limited research has explored risk and protective factors within this population. Grounded in the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide, this study examined the associations between coping orientations (i.e., problem-focused, emotion-focused, and avoidant) and strategies (i.e., gratitude, self-compassion, and search for meaning in life) and suicide risk (i.e., perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness) among emerging adults of Asian descent (N = 429). Multiple linear regression models were used to assess these associations while controlling for relevant demographic variables. Problem-focused coping and gratitude were negatively associated with perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness, whereas emotion-focused and avoidant coping were positively associated with perceived burdensomeness. Avoidant coping was also positively associated with thwarted belongingness, whereas self-compassion was negatively associated with thwarted belongingness. These findings underscore the importance of culturally responsive interventions that promote active coping and emotional resilience in addressing perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness and addressing suicide risk factors.
