The impact of psychological torque on suicidal ideation in elite athletes

The results of the study revealed a complex interaction mechanism between psychological torque, psychological distress, and sense of belonging in the development of suicidal ideation among elite athletes. psychological torque has a direct positive effect on suicidal ideation, with psychological distress acting as a mediating variable, while sense of belonging serves as a moderating variable that can reduce the negative impact of psychological torque and psychological distress on suicidal ideation. These findings provide a theoretical foundation for the prevention and intervention of suicidal behaviors in elite athletes, highlighting that enhancing athletes' sense of belonging could be an effective strategy for reducing suicide risk. The study also suggests future research directions, including the use of longitudinal designs, expanding the sample size, and exploring additional potential moderating variables
