The aim of this study is to examine on the relationship between suicidal thought and Sense ofCoherence (SOC) and to identify social support as General Resistant Resources (GRRs) for improving SOC. For the study, Seoul Welfare Panel Study (SWPS, 2010) was analyzed and final sample is consists of 2,357 individuals aged 18 and over. This study consisted of two parts. First is to verify that SOC has an impact on suicidal thought, even though social structural·psychological factors(sex, age, marital state, education level, income level and depression) were controlled. Second is to examine whether social support (perceived social support and social participation) has a positive influence on increasing SOC as GRRS. For this analysis, hierarchical logistic regression was lastly conducted.
The main results of this study were as follows. First, SOC has on great positive effects on decreasing suicidal thought; moreover SOC can decrease impacts of depression on suicidal thought. Second, it was confirmed that comparatively high level of social support, social participation are the factors for promoting SOC. Based on the results, suggestions might be done that GRRS, such as social support should be developed as policy because SOC is necessary to reduce suicidal as well as depression.
