The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of Chinese college students’ negative life events and hardiness on their suicidal ideation. The participants included 451 full-time undergraduate students attending three universities in Jiangsu Province in China. The University Students’ Hardiness Rating Scale (USHRS), the Adolescent Self-rating Life Event Checklist (ASLEC), and the Self-rating Idea of Suicide Scale (SIOSS) were adopted as measuring instruments of this study. The results indicated that 419 (92.9%) participants had no apparent suicidal ideation; however, 32 (7.1%) participants had apparent suicidal ideation. The total score of the hardiness of the participants without suicidal ideation was significantly higher than that of those with suicidal ideation. Furthermore, hardiness was significantly negatively correlated with the total score of negative life events and all dimensions. Hardiness was significantly negatively correlated with the total score of suicidal ideations, and the total score of negative life events was significantly positively correlated with the total score of suicide ideation. Finally, part of the influence of negative life events on suicidal ideation is achieved through hardiness, which plays a part of mediating role. It is concluded that Chinese college students’ suicidal ideation is closely related to negative life events and hardiness, and hardiness plays a part of the mediating role in the relationship between negative life events and suicidal ideation.
