This mixed-methods study examines how adults in the United States perceive their romantic partner's response to disclosures of suicidality and how romantic relationship characteristics relate to perceptions of disclosure responses. Participants (N = 30) recruited from Reddit completed a survey using open- and closed-ended questions about disclosing suicidality to a romantic partner. Qualitative findings highlight validating and invalidating disclosure responses. Validating responses include two subthemes: (a) emotional, nondirective support, and (b) instrumental, directive support. Invalidating responses are coded when partners are dismissive or display lack of concern. Meta-inferences from qualitative and quantitative findings reveal associations between participants who perceive their partners' responses as (in)validating and multiple romantic relationship characteristics. Our findings have implications about supporting individuals struggling with suicidality and their romantic partners.

对浪漫伴侣对自杀披露的反应的看法

这项混合方法研究调查了美国成年人如何看待他们的浪漫伴侣对自杀性披露的反应，以及浪漫关系特征如何与对披露反应的看法相关。参与者（N = 30) 从 Reddit 招募的人完成了一项调查，该调查使用开放式和封闭式问题，关于向恋人披露自杀倾向。定性调查结果突出了验证和无效披露响应。验证响应包括两个子主题：(a) 情感的、非指导性的支持，以及 (b) 工具性的、指导性的支持。当合作伙伴不屑一顾或表现出不关心时，无效的反应就会被编码。来自定性和定量结果的元推断揭示了参与者之间的关联，他们将伴侣的反应视为（无效）和多重浪漫关系特征。我们的研究结果对支持与自杀作斗争的个人及其浪漫伴侣具有重要意义。
