Findings regarding associations between burdensomeness, suicidal ideation using different mixed, potentially due to differences measurement scales. This study evaluated factor structure, internal consistency, concurrent predictive validity these five three samples. Samples 1 2 were...
From an evolutionary-psychological perspective, it has been argued that a sense of burdensomeness toward kin may erode self-preservational motives, which in turn, fosters suicidality. We reasoned if this were so, perceived should specifically characterize those who complete suicide, even as compared to attempt whereas other dimensions (e.g., hopelessness, emotional pain) not differentiate completers from attempters. Moreover, we predicted be related more lethal means suicide among suicide....

The present study evaluated and compared the psychometric properties of three self-report scales: Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale (SHAPS; R. P. Snaith, M. Hamilton, S. Morley, & A. Humayan, 1995), Fawcett-Clark Capacity (FCPS; J. Fawcett, D. C. Clark, W. Scheftner, Gibbons, 1983), Revised Chapman Physical Anhedonia (CPAS; L. Chapman, Raulin, 1976). These scales, designed to assess hedonic responsiveness, were administered 157 college students. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a Hedonic...

Methods: Participants completed...
Background Major depressive disorder (MDD) and anxiety disorders (ANX) are debilitating prevalent conditions that often co-occur in adolescence young adulthood. The leading theoretical models of their co-morbidity include the direct causation model shared etiology model. present study compared these etiological MDD–ANX a large, prospective, non-clinical sample adolescents tracked through age 30. Method Logistic regression was used to examine cross-sectional associations between ANX MDD at...
Longitudinal trajectories of depressive symptoms, perceived support from family, and friends were examined among 816 emerging adults (480 women; 59%). In the context a larger longitudinal investigation on predictors course depression, data drawn eight self-report questionnaire assessments that roughly spanned third decade life. An age-based scaling approach was used to model symptoms social between ages 21 30. Associative models relations family tested. Results indicated decreased increased...
Suicide among veterans is a pressing public health concern. The interpersonal–psychological theory of suicide proposes that perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness lead to suicidal desire, whereas the acquired capability for leads attempt in presence desire (Joiner, 2005). Two hypotheses derived from were tested 185 (96 women) entering inpatient psychiatric treatment. Burdensomeness its interaction with significantly predicted current ideation. three‐way between burdensomeness,...
A theoretical model in which perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness were hypothesized to account for the association between sexual orientation suicidal ideation among college students was tested. Among 198 (mean age 21.28 years), gay, lesbian, bisexual (n = 50) reported significantly higher levels of than heterosexual students. The relationship partially accounted by burdensomeness, but not belongingness. This indirect effect stronger at or anticipated rejection due one's...

Inconsistent may arise due substantial methodological variability sample sizes, emphasizing the need for systematic large samples. The aim of this report is examine association between bias pediatric using standardized measures a large, international, multi-site sample. Methods A total 1,291 children adolescents from seven sites...
Cognitive bias modification (CBM) has evolved from an experimental method testing cognitive mechanisms of psychopathology to a promising tool for accessible digital mental health care.
