Marital Status, Social Integration, and Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors in the Military Health and Well‐Being Project
Suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) are a public health concern, particularly among Veterans, who experience elevated rates of STBs. Social integration is negatively associated with STBs, such that high social integration is correlated with low rates of STBs. Much of the literature has studied marital status as a social relationship that may protect individuals from STBs. Although largely unstudied, it has long been assumed that social integra…
The Self-Dehumanization Scale
Self-dehumanization, a phenomenon relevant to social psychology, has been somewhat absent from clinical psychology research. Furthermore, measures of self-dehumanization are few, and to our knowledge, no validated and generalizable self-report measure exists. To address this gap, we present a Self-Dehumanization Scale (SDS). This work incorporates evidence from three studies examining the reliability, validity, and factor structure of the SDS in …
Intersectional analysis of suicide risk among transgender and non-binary people
Transgender and non-binary (TNB) people experience high rates of suicidal thoughts and behaviors, but less is known about how suicide risk varies within TNB communities. We investigated variation in suicidality among TNB people across intersecting social identities and positions. This study uses data from Trans PULSE Canada, a 2019 community-based survey of TNB people aged 14+ in Canada. Among 2054 participants aged 16+, conditional inference tre…
Suicide and Its Nexus
In Indonesia, suicide research has largely overlooked structural factors at the meso and macro levels, whether as primary causes, contributing factors, or considerations for prevention strategies. The dominance of psychological and psychiatric approaches has marginalized sociological perspectives, limiting a more holistic understanding of suicide. Existing heuristic models primarily frame suicide as a consequence of mental health disorders or eco…
Cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships between mental health stigma and suicidal ideation
Suicide attempts during adolescence
INTRODUCTION: Despite increased efforts to prevent suicide, attempts to die by suicide are rising amongst youth in the United States. Testing causal theories that depict suicide attempts from an adolescent development perspective could bolster prevention and intervention efforts. This study using system dynamics modeling to appraise whether a prevalent theory of suicide, the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide, predicts suicide attempts across adoles…
Evaluation of the SCARF Well‐Being and Suicide Prevention Program for Rural Australian Communities
PURPOSE: Rural communities in Australia have an elevated risk of suicide. The aim of the current study was to evaluate a well-being and suicide prevention education workshop, SCARF (Suspect, Connect, Ask, Refer, Follow-Up) developed for Australian farming and rural communities. METHODS: The SCARF program was delivered to 14 groups, a convenience sample including frontline agricultural workers and farmers from New South Wales. The Literacy of Suic…
Reflections on Positive Emotions and Upward Spirals
We reflect on our 2002 article and the impact this research report has had both within and beyond psychological science. This article was both one of the first publications to provide empirical support for hypotheses based on the broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions and a product of the genesis of positive psychology. We highlight empirical and theoretical advancements in the scientific understanding of upward spiral dynamics associated …
Suicidal ideation in transgender people
Research has revealed alarmingly high rates of suicidal ideation (SI) and suicide attempts among transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) people. This study aims to analyze the role of factors from the gender minority stress and resilience (GMSR) model (Testa, Habarth, Peta, Balsam, & Bockting, 2015), the interpersonal-psychological theory of suicide (IPTS; Joiner, 2005; Van Orden et al., 2010), and the potential integration of these factors, …
Examining longer-term effects of parental death in adolescents and young adults
Using longitudinal data spanning a 7-year period, we investigated the behavioral and psycho-social effects resulting from a parent's death during early childhood or teenage years on adolescent and early adulthood functioning. Findings confirmed previous work demonstrating various behavioral problems and social-psychological adjustment deficits during adolescence. Results suggested that most detrimental adjustment behaviors among parentally bereav…
The Perversion of Virtue
"In The Perversion of Virtue, suicide researcher Thomas Joiner explores the nature of murder-suicide and offers a unique new theory to explain this nearly unexplainable act: that 'true' murder-suicides always involve the wrongheaded invocation of one of four interpersonal virtues"
The Interpersonal-Psychological Theory of Suicidal Behavior
Why People Die by Suicide
Positive Emotions Trigger Upward Spirals Toward Emotional Well-Being
The broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions predicts that positive emotions broaden the scopes of attention and cognition, and, by consequence, initiate upward spirals toward increasing emotional well-being. The present study assessed this prediction by testing whether positive affect and broad-minded coping reciprocally and prospectively predict one another. One hundred thirty-eight college students completed self-report measures of affect…
