Firefighters experience high rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is imperative to identify malleable factors that protect against the development PTSD symptoms among this population. We examined whether perceptions belongingness broadly (Study 1) and social support from supervisors, coworkers, family/friends specifically 2) are associated with lower symptom severity firefighters. Study 1 included 840 U.S. firefighters (91.1% male); participants completed Interpersonal Needs...
Stress and blunted reward processing are risk factors for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). The experience of acute stress reduces fMRI correlates reward-related neural activity; however, few studies have examined how impacts measures derived from event-related potentials (ERPs). current study the impact an stressor on Reward Positivity (RewP), ERP that indexes sensitivity, in twenty-six college students. Participants completed a monetary task while they placed their left hand cold water set...
Recent standardized nomenclature has suggested distinctions among aborted, interrupted, and actual suicide attempts. This study examined differences in self-reported symptoms individuals with a history of 167 young adults suicidality completed self-report measures attempt current symptoms, clinical interview assessing past suicidal behavior, pain tolerance task. Only 78.8% participants who initially reported were classified as attempters following the interview. Individuals only aborted...
Firearms are the most common method of suicide in United States. The provision firearm-specific lethal means safety interventions is a best practice for prevention and management risk. However, few data exist to inform interventions. This study tested four different that varied on two dimensions salient health behavior change (i.e., fear appeals emphasis temporariness).Overall, 96 college-enrolled young adults with history suicidal ideation current firearm familiarity ownership, access,...
Suicide rates within the U.S. military are elevated. The interpersonal theory of suicide, supported samples, suggests that social disconnectedness confers risk for suicide. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by symptoms-difficulties in communication/interaction (SCI) and restricted repetitive behaviors (RRBs)-that contribute to disconnectedness. To our knowledge, no study has examined ASD-related traits suicide among active duty service members. Participants included 292 members...
Research has linked agitation and low body trust to suicidal thoughts behaviors. We investigated a pathway with accounting for the relationship between suicidality. 511 individuals recruited via MTurk (Study 1) 167 undergraduate students (62.9% suicide attempt history) 2) completed measures of study variables. For ideation, proposed was significant across samples, as predicting mediating. In Study 1, explained history. 2, neither independent variable related Results suggest is independently...
A recent study by Tsypes and colleagues (2019) found that children with suicidal ideation had blunted neural reward processing, as measured the positivity (RewP), compared to matched controls, this difference was driven reduced responses monetary loss, rather than reward. Here, we aimed conceptually replicate extend these findings in two samples (n = 264, 27 ideation; n 314, 49 at baseline) of adolescents (11 15 years 8 years, respectively). Results from both showed no evidence have abnormal...
Abstract Objective The Suicide Risk Assessment and Management Decision Tree (DT) is a clinician‐administered assessment that leads to risk categorizations correspond with actionable strata. This study investigated the construct validity test–retest reliability of DT categories across two time points. Method Outpatients ( N = 731) completed battery self‐report measures. Spearman's correlations were used examine relationships between suicide level suicidal symptoms, theory‐based factors,...
Firefighters represent a group at elevated suicide risk. Identifying segments of the fire service increased risk may facilitate targeted provision prevention initiatives. Among general population, American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) individuals report higher rates attempts. This study sought to examine attempt among AI/AN firefighters and determine if greater exposure painful provocative events and/or fearlessness about death explains relationship between identity suicidal behaviors. A...
Abstract Objectives Discrepancies persist regarding the extent to which different pain measures provide similar information and relate capability for suicide self‐injurious behaviors. This study examined threshold, tolerance, persistence across four modalities (cold, heat, pressure, shock) assessed associations with self‐reported suicide, non‐suicidal self‐injury (NSSI), attempts. Methods A sample of 211 students who reported lifetime suicidal ideation completed behavioral tasks on NSSI,...
ABSTRACT Stress and blunted reward processing are risk factors for mood disorders, including Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). The experience of acute stress reduces fMRI correlates reward-related neural activity; however, few studies have examined how impacts measures derived from event-related potentials (ERPs). current study the impact an stressor on Reward Positivity (RewP), ERP that indexes sensitivity, in twenty-seven college students. Participants completed a monetary task while they...
Detection of underreporting in suicide risk assessment remains a significant concern clinical practice. The aim this research is to examine whether based on elevated Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) K-r and L-r scale scores may aid identifying patients with suppressed the Suicide/Death Ideation (SUI) extra-test measures risk. We anticipated that, voluntarily admitted psychiatric inpatients (N = 1,011) individuals receiving outpatient services...
