Although prevalent, death by suicide is a statistically rare event – making it difficult to identify factors that can best predict behavioral risk and inform suicide risk assessment and management. Experimental tests of theories of...
Reliance on self-reported screening for suicide risk may be contributing to a lack of progress in suicide prevention, in part, because of limitations related to stigma, ambivalence, and deception in responding. One change to potentially...
Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death among 15-24 year olds in the United States (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2007). It is believed to be the second leading cause of death in college populations (Center for Disease...
Suicide and depression are serious and growing public health problems. Despite their substantial global health burden, relatively few interventions have been found to be efficacious at preventing these conditions. The aims of the current...
Numerous theories of suicide converge on the importance of hopelessness as a crucial factor driving suicidal desire. Recent theories of suicide including the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide (ITS) and the ideation-to-action framework...
Suicide is a leading cause of death among young adults. Despite the relative affordability and accessibility of mental health care services for college students, rates of treatment utilization remain relatively low among undergraduates...
Although research has supported the use of empirically supported treatments (ESTs) for psychological disorders, many clinicians prefer to use a modular approach integrating interventions from a number of different ESTs. The current study...
Background: As the coronavirus disease continues to spread around the world, millions are being impacted by societal changes and social distancing. When the majority of educational institutions closed campuses, college students were left...
Types of social media behaviors, including active or passive social media use, may have an influence on mental health outcomes (Aalbers et al., 2019; Verduyn et al., 2015). The impact of social media use may be particularly relevant to...
Suicide claims the lives of approximately 32, 000 Americans each year. The interpersonal-psychological theory of suicide (IPTS; Joiner, 2005) was developed in an effort to clarify the nature of suicidality as well as to enhance risk...
Suicide is a serious public health concern, killing more than 45, 000 Americans, annually. To guide research, treatment, and prevention efforts, researchers have proposed many theories of suicide. Among theories, the Interpersonal Theory...
Introduction: Evidence suggests that disturbed sleep may constitute an important and modifiable vulnerability factor for acute suicidal risk and completed suicide. Sleep complaints are closely coupled with mood problems, and depression...
Eating disorders (EDs) are associated with increased risk for suicide. Recent research suggests that excessive exercise (EE), an ED compensatory behavior, may increase suicide risk via increasing one's capability for suicide which is...
Background: Social exclusion is a robust correlate of suicidal ideation and behavior. However, there is little research examining the biological factors contributing to the link between social exclusion and suicide risk. Prior research...
Numerous identified factors are associated with suicide cross-sectionally and across long follow-up periods, but methodological limitations have hindered examination of these constructs as short-term predictors of suicide risk. The use...
A Pilot Randomized Control Trial of a Conditioning Paradigm to Increase Affinity for Sacredneses of Life and Decreasee Experiences of Suicide-Related Thoughts and Behaviors
Suicide-related experiences are a form of self-directed violence that affects millions of people every year. Through decades of research, interventions targeting these experiences have developed with varied empirical support. However, ...
Males die by suicide 3.6 times more frequently than females (Kochanek et al., 2016), but attempt suicide less frequently than females (Canetto & Sakinofsky, 1998). Few theoretical models have been proffered for understanding sex...
The author examined Hammen's (1991) model of stress generation in depression in a college population, with emphasis on passive coping as a mechanism of stress generation. The longitudinal sample included 202 participants. Stressful event...
Approximately 48, 300 people die by suicide yearly in the United States (U.S.) alone. Just over half of these deaths result from self-inflicted gunshot wounds, which is to be expected given that 9 out of 10 attempts involving a firearm...
Sensation seeking is a facet of impulsivity that leads individuals to seek out novel and provocative experiences for the sake of taking part in that experience. Sensation seeking, which has been found to be at least partially based in...
Heatherton and Baumeister (1991) proposed that individuals engage in binge eating in an attempt to escape aversive self-awareness (escape theory). The current study sought to test the escape theory prediction that individuals who...
In line with the Terror Management Health Model, death-related fear appeals are often utilized in public health campaigns. Research, however, suggests that these approaches may increase engagement in health risk behaviors when said...
Non-native English-speaking international students face substantial challenges due to language barriers, contributing to acculturative stress. This mixed-methods study examines how AR glasses and mobile apps differ in enhancing the...
Meaning in life is often assumed to be related to suicidal outcomes such as suicide ideation, suicide risk, and suicide attempt, and past studies have indeed found associations between meaning in life and various suicide-relevant...
