Post traumatic growth among recent suicide loss survivors
Despite many studies of post-traumatic growth among suicide bereaved, information is lacking on recent suicide loss survivors. We investigated this with a diverse national sample of 1132 American adults, experiencing a suicide loss during the last six years. Bereaved reported on their post-traumatic growth, mental health, PTSD, depression, grieving difficulties, perceived stigma, suicidal ideation, and other mental health indicators. Findings con…

Prevalence and vulnerability for suicidal thoughts and behaviors among adults recently bereaved by suicide
Research with longer-term survivors of suicide loss suggests that suicide bereavement is a major risk factor for suicidal thoughts and behavior (STB). This study examined the prevalence and correlates of STB among a national sample of adults recently bereaved by suicide ( N = 1,132). Nearly one-third ( n = 348; 30.7%) reported lifetime suicidal ideation and 14.4% ( n = 162) reported past-year suicidal ideation. Multivariate analyses indicated tha…
Social Support Somewhat Mitigates Grieving Problems of Recent Suicide Loss Survivors
Although past research shows social support mitigating grieving difficulties among longer-term suicide bereaved, it remains unproven whether this is true among newly bereaved suicide loss survivors. We investigated this question in an online survey of 1,132 recently bereaved adults reporting on their grief difficulties, PTSD symptoms, and depression. Results suggested social support slightly mitigated grief difficulties and PTSD. For people with …
Guilt over success, impostor phenomenon, and self-sabotaging behaviors
Impostor phenomenon refers to the psychological feeling of intellectual phoniness. It can favor failures and support a scarce perception of one’s own competence in order to protect social relations. The aim of this study was to investigate, with a longitudinal design, the contribution of fear of success and guilt over success in the experience of impostor phenomenon and its connections to maladaptive behaviors, such as submission and self-handica…
The current state of affairs in infidelity research
In this systematic review and meta‐analysis, researchers' operationalizations of romantic infidelity and the techniques that they employed to measure it were surveyed along with the demographic characteristics of their respondent samples. A meta‐analytic synthesis of infidelity prevalence estimates and their moderators is provided. The APA PsycINFO, PubMed, ISI Web of Science, and ERIC databases were searched for peer‐reviewed, English‐language s…
Investigating the Social Correlates Associated With Getting Help After a Suicide or Not
Seeking to provide more systematic information on treatment-seeking and those not seeking help after a suicide, we investigated demographic, experiential and grief problems related correlates among recently suicide bereaved adults, conducting an on-line survey of a sample of U.S. 1,132 adults who lost a loved one to suicide during the last six years. Focusing upon first-degree relative loss survivors ( n = 222) we hypothesized those not seeking h…
Examining the Associations Between Substance Misuse and Suicide Bereavement
Focusing on the understudied question of substance misuse among suicide bereaved adults we investigated patterns of binge drinking and non-prescribed drug use among a recently bereaved sample ( n = 1,132). Comparing our respondents to the non-bereaved, those in the 2022 National Survey of Drug Use and Health ( n = 71,369), we did not find heightened problematical substance misuses among our respondents. With t -tests and multiple regression analy…
Sexual Assault Victimization in Premature Female Mortalities
Previous research has documented many behavioral problems associated with being a female victim of sexual assault, but little attention has been devoted to whether this experience might be related to premature mortalities. We investigated this utilizing the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health survey, collected from over 10,000 adolescent females in 1995, whose premature deaths ( n = 65) were noted in 2007 in National Death I…
Understanding interpersonal guilt
The aim of this article is to empirically investigate the relationships among interpersonal guilt, as conceived within control‐mastery theory (CMT), and attachment, altruism, and personality pathology in an English‐speaking sample. An online sample of 393 participants was recruited to complete the Interpersonal Guilt Rating Scale self‐report version‐15 (IGRS‐15s), together with other empirically validated measures for the assessment of attachment…
Source of Information on Intentions to Adopt Protective Behaviours During Covid-19 in China
Introduction : COVID-19 spread across China and other countries in a matter of weeks. Yet, it is uncertain how people have responded to protective behaviours in this pandemic. This study aims to evaluate how trust in different types of information sources influences the intention to adopt protective behaviours. Methods : In total, 122 Chinese completed a survey on Qualtrics in March 2021. Data on demographic information, protective behaviours, tr…
Interpersonal problems of cocaine dependent adults differ from those of a normative sample
Our research examined patterns of interpersonal problems in patients with a primary diagnosis of cocaine dependence (CD), comparing them with those in a normative sample. We hypothesized that the patterns of individuals with CD would reveal constellations of interpersonal problems distinct from those of the sample, not only at baseline, but also at termination of treatment. Analysis was conducted on 402 CD patients from the training and the main …
The components of psychoanalysis
In an empirical study of psychoanalytic processes, the authors identify therapist, patient, and interaction factors from 2 instruments totaling 31 items based on clinicians’ evaluation of 540 sessions from 27 completely recorded psychoanalyses. The 2 instruments, developed over 30 years studying recorded psychoanalyses, are the Analytic Process Scales (APS; Waldron, Scharf, Hurst, Firestein, & Burton, 2004b) and the Dynamic Interaction Scales (DI…
Emotional Responses to Suicidal Patients
The TRQ-SF is a brief and reliable measure with a 3-factor structure. It demonstrates construct validity for assessing distinct suicide-related countertransference to psychiatric outpatients. Mental health professionals' emotional responses to their patients are concurrently indicative and prospectively predictive of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Thus, the TRQ-SF is a useful tool for the study of countertransference in the treatment of suicida…

Evaluating the outcomes of psychotherapies
This paper introduces two related measures that can be used to evaluate, describe, and track changes in personality functioning. Both are derived from the Shedler-Westen Assessment Procedure (SWAP-200). The first measure is the Personality Health Index (PHI) that offers an assessment of personality functioning that may be applied to the study of outcome in any treatment purporting to affect overall psychological health, such as long-term psychody…
Parental Grief after a Child'S Drug Death Compared to other Death Causes
This comparative survey contrasted 571 parents who lost children to various death causes: 48 to drug-related deaths and overdoses, 462 to suicide, 24 to natural death cases, and 37 to mostly accidental death cases. Groups were compared in terms of grief difficulties, mental health problems, posttraumatic stress, and stigmatization. Results did not show any appreciable differences in these respects between the suicide bereaved parents and those lo…
Prospective Predictors of Premature Death
This study was based on data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), which revealed that 96 of its original Wave I respondents died prior to the collection of the Wave III survey. We compared psychosocial and behavioral characteristics reported at Wave I among those who died and those who lived (n = 16,719) using chi-square tests, t-tests, and logistic regression analyses to determine the most important risk factor…
How They Died, Time since Loss, and Bereavement Outcomes
This analysis explores associations between differing death circumstances and the course of bereavement among a sample of 540 bereaved parents. Comparisons were made between parents whose children died by suicide (n = 462), those losing children from other traumatic death circumstances (n = 54), and others whose children died from natural causes (n = 24). Results were mixed, showing suicide survivors with more grief difficulties and other mental …
Personal Growth after a Suicide Loss
With a diverse sample of 462 parent survivors of their child's suicide we explored the association of the personal growth subscale of the Hogan Grief Reaction Checklist (HGRC) with mental health problems among longer-term survivors. In this article we offer additional validation for this scale's association with longer-term survivorship and reduced grief difficulties. We also demonstrate its negative relationship with mental health problems. In a…
Stigmatization and Suicide Bereavement
With survey data collected primarily from peer support group participants, the authors compared stigmatization responses of 462 parents losing children to suicide with 54 other traumatic death survivors and 24 child natural death survivors. Parents who encountered harmful responses and strained relations with family members and non-kin reported heightened grief difficulties. After controlling for time since the death and whether a child's death w…
Internet Support Groups for Suicide Survivors
Taken among parents who sustained the loss of a child to suicide this study explores the participation of parents in Internet support groups, comparing their demographic and loss-related characteristics (N = 104) to other parent survivors participating in face-to-face support groups (N = 297). Contrary to expectations that Internet affiliates would be concentrated in under-served rural areas, we found similar levels of urban, suburban, small city…

An Attempt to Condition an Eyeblink Response to Verbal Deception
An attempt to condition an eyeblink response to verbal deception was accomplished by using an air-puff following deceptions on a series of questionnaires. The rapid extinction of the response presented the most serious problem in utilizing this approach for an extended period of time
An Observation of Altered Locus of Control following Political Disappointment
Rotter ( 1966) developed the Internal-External Control of Reinforcement Scale (I-E) as a measure of the tendency to perceive events as being the result of one's own control as opposed to the tendency to perceive events as fate or chance controlled. In situations in which the person's expectancy for selfdirected success would become diminished, it would be expected that scores on the I-E scale would shift in the direction of external locus of cont…
Pf Correlates of Sensation-Seeking
A group of 64 undergraduates (39 women, 25 men) was given Zuckerman's Sensation-Seeking Scale and Cattell's 16 PF. High sensation-seekers were characterized by greater dominance, surgency, adventurousness, suspicion, and bohemian unconcernedness and by less shrewdness and self-sentiment control than low sensation-seekers. This pattern was more pronounced for women than men. The relationship of this constellation to psychopathy was discussed
Principal Components Analysis as an Alternative to Kendall's Coefficient of Concordance, W1
Spearman's rho is a special case of the product-moment r. As such, a principal components analysis of inter-rater rhos among k raters on n cases may be performed. The size of the first principal component is proportional to the amount of inter-rater agreement and can be equated to Kendall's W. The principal components procedure can also reveal the presence of differing rating policies and can isolate subgroups of raters
A Warning About Employing An Erroneous Procedure in Mixed Effects Multivariate Analysis of Variance (Manova) Based On the Use of Bmd12V
The BMD12V MANOVA program does not compute the appropriate between-subjects tests in mixed effects designs. Although James (1979) recently suggested a technique for obtaining between-subjects tests, his formulas are shown to be incorrect. Suggestions are given for obtaining the appropriate statistics
Sorting out aggression
Taxonomies of aggressive behavior have largely been based upon social scientist' common sense or theoretical notions of forms of aggression and have received no formal empirical testing. In the present study, college students nominated a pool of real-life aggressive episodes which they had observed or in which they had been involved. A representative sample of 24 of these situations were given back to a subset of the subjects who were asked to so…
Toward Explaining the Higher Incidence of Cigarette Smoking Among Black Americans
Using the 1987 General Social Survey data, the factors related to the disproportionately higher rates of cigarette smoking by Black Americans were investigated. Previous studies have found smoking to be highly correlated with age, social class, and occupational stress, among other factors. It is uncertain whether race is an independent predictor of smoking rates or whether it is primarily a correlate of other demographic variables. Loglinear mode…
Dimensions of aggression
In a previous study (Muncer et al.: Aggressive Behavior 12:327–336, 1986) real-life aggressive situations nominated by undergraduate subjects were used in a sorting task to uncover the judgmental dimensions underlying discriminations between episodes. Three dimensions emerged: physical-verbal form, acquainted-unacquainted combatants, and an equity or fairness dimension. To examine the generality of this schema, offenders on probation were asked t…

Powcor
POWCOR is a BASIC program that computes power or needed sample sizes for detecting the differences between pairs of correlated or independent correlation coefficients. The program can compute power for unequal samples sizes, given independent correlations
Sex and social representations of aggression
Previous research [Campbell and Muncer: Journal for the Theory of Social Behavior 17: 489–512, 1987; Campbell et al.: Aggressive Behavior 18: 95–108, 1992] suggests that men and women hold different social representations or implicit theories of their own aggression. Men view it is an instrumental act (a means of obtaining and exercising power to gain social rewards), while women view it an expressive act (a cathartic discharge of anger). In the …
