  • Description: Developing and testing theoretical models of suicidal processes is an important step towards designing appropriately targeted interventions. Though numerous correlates of suicidal ideation have been identifi ed, little theory articulates exactly how suicidal ideation arises in such contexts. Drawing on empirical and theoretical literature, we present the rationale for a stress-coping model to explain the development of suicidal ideation within an individual (the emotion self-confi dence model of suicidal ideation). Negative emotionality is viewed as an internal contextual stressor, potentially leading to the coping response of suicidal ideation, depending on how well an individual believes he/she can cope with or change the negative emotionality (emotion self-confi dence). In particular, high levels of negative emotionality coupled with low emotion self-confi dence would be expected to predispose towards thoughts of suicide. We discuss the relationship between emotion self-confi dence and processes associated with suicidal ideation, such as depression and hopelessness, as well as how emotion self-confi dence relates to broader cognitive behavioral constructs involving coping expectations. Accordingly, we outline the benefi ts of conceptualizing the model within Lazarus and Folkman's (1984; Lazarus, 1999) stress-coping framework. © eContent Management Pty Ltd.

Does asking adolescents about suicidal ideation induce negative mood state?

  • Description: Two studies examined the potential for negative mood induction through participating in suicidal ideation questionnaire research. Items immediately preceding mood state measures were hypothesized to influence mood state in a negative or positive direction, depending on their emotional content. Study 1 involved 129 adolescents. Mood state decreased nonsignificantly following items on suicidal-type ideation and significantly improved following a series of positive affect items. Study 2 followed up 71 of the original participants 3 years later using a briefer version of the original questionnaire. Here no significant differences in mood state were found at any measurement point. In both studies, the salience of items preceding the mood measure explained a significant proportion of variance in mood state. We concluded that negative mood induction effects were minimal. Ethical implications are discussed. © 2010 Springer Publishing Company.
