Yasuma N, et al. - A community-representative adult sample in Japan was retrospectively examined for the association between personal values in adolescence and suicidality. Using data from wave 1 (2010) and wave 3 (2017) of a Japanese Study on Stratification, Health, Income, and Neighborhood survey, researchers retrospectively measured personal values at age 15 in 2017 in two ways: the original value priorities were based on the Schwartz theory of basic values, and the degree of commitment to the values was determined using the Japanese version of the Personal Values Questionnaire II. They noted a significant and negative association of cherishing family and friends with suicidal ideation over a lifetime and in the most recent year. In addition, there was a significant and negative association of commitment to values with suicidal ideation in the most recent year.
