Background/objective: Research has highlighted the role of neuroticism, rumination, and
depression in predicting suicidal thoughts, but studies on how these variables interplay are
scarce. The aims of the present study were to test a model in which emotional stability (i.e., low
neuroticism) would act as an antecedent and moderator of rumination and depressed mood in
the prediction of suicidal ideation (i.e., moderated serial-mediation), and to explore their repli-
cability across four countries and sex, among college students as an at-risk-group for suicide.
Method: Participants were 3482 undergraduates from U.S, Spain, Argentina, and the Nether-
lands. Path analysis and multi-group analysis were conducted. Results: Emotional stability was
indirectly linked to suicidal ideation via rumination and depressed mood. Moreover, emotional
stability moderated the associations between rumination and depressed mood, and between
depressed mood and suicidal ideation. Findings were consistent in males and females, and across
countries studied. Discussion: Regardless of sex and country, people with low emotional stability
reported higher levels of rumination, which in turn was associated with more depressed mood,
and these were associated with higher reports of suicidal thoughts. This cascade of psychological
risk factors for suicidal ideation seems to be more harmful in people who endorse low levels of
emotional stability. [-]
