Psychological correlates distinguish suicide ideation, suicide planning, and suicide attempts among young adults
Individuals who formulate suicide plans (SP) may represent a distinct risk group relative to those who experience suicidal ideation (SI) alone or those who make suicide attempts (SA), yet empirical evidence distinguishing these groups remains limited. The present study examined whether combinations of established psychosocial correlates differentiate SI, SP, and SA histories. Participants were 236 U.S.-based young adults who completed measures of…
Comparing undergraduates’ stigma toward peers with criminal records and mental health disorders
Stigma remains a significant barrier to educational attainment for individuals with criminal records or mental illness, yet little is known about how college students perceive peers with these stigmatized backgrounds. Undergraduates (N = 307) were randomly assigned to one of three conditions to assess attitudes toward peers with: (a) no disclosed background (control), (b) a mental health diagnosis, or (c) a criminal record. They completed a versi…
The power of protective factors to mitigate LGBTQ+ suicide risk: Improving positive aspects of one’s identity in a vacuum is not enough
The goal of the present study was to determine whether positive components of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, and related (LGBTQ+) identity mitigate suicide risk. A sample of 260 LGBTQ+ participants completed assessments of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), positive LGBTQ+ identity (authenticity, community, self-awareness, intimacy, social justice), outness, and self-acceptance of sexuality. Bivariate analyses indicate…
Implicit Biases Toward Aging-Related Stimuli Correspond With Anxiety About Aging and Ageism: Evidence From a Crowdsourced Go/No-Go Association Task
There is a surprising lack of measures to assess ageism, particularly implicit measures designed to capture automatic associations. The central aim of this study was to establish the relationship between implicit and explicit measures of ageism and aging anxiety. We recruited 205 adults aged 18-67 years by crowdsourcing (M age = 37.5, SD age = 10.7; 45% cisgender women). Participants completed a go/no-go association task (GNAT) assessing negative…
Delay of Gratification, Gender Role Attitudes, and Death Reflections Predict Death Anxiety
Previous work has established that gender, age, and self-control can predict Death Anxiety (DA), the distress that centers around thoughts of one's mortality. However, it has not been determined if DA is associated with Delay of Gratification (DG; a tendency to forgo immediate rewards to receive a more favorable outcome in the future), attitudes toward gender roles (as compared to gender identity itself), and Death Reflections (DR; positive goals…
