“…NFC is defined as the extent of one's preference for effortful thinking, complexity, and mentalization (Cacioppo & Petty, 1996). NFA and NFC, therefore, constitute attitudes or preferences concerning emotional (i.e., system 1) and cognitive (i.e., system 2) information processing (Cramer et al, 2016). NFC and NFA have, independently and jointly, been widely applied to a range of outcomes such as perceptions of hate crimes (Cramer et al, 2013) and political beliefs (Arceneaux & Vander Wielen, 2013).…”

“…The PIP approach to understanding suicide risk (Cramer et al, 2016 draws on dual process, NFA, and NFC theories to provide testable hypotheses. Consistent with a prominent dual process perspective, namely the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM; Petty & Briñol, 2015), the extent of effortful thinking is hypothesized to moderate the influence of affect (e.g., depression) or approach to emotion (i.e., NFA) on subsequent outcomes (e.g., thinking patterns, decisions).…”

“…For example, NFA and NFC have only been evaluated with suicide in American young adults. Moreover, depression is the only mental health topic addressed within this framework to date (Cramer et al, 2016). The present study rectified these limitations through inclusion of anxiety, and testing the model in a UK young adult sample.…”

“…Such factors can then become targets of prevention and intervention programs. The present study tests the Preferences in Information Processing (PIP;Cramer et al, 2016) approach to suicide risk and ideation-to-action in a young adult sample beyond the United States for the first time. In doing so, we seek to: (1) replicate and extend PIP predictions of suicide risk level, and (2) examine for the first time whether PIP variables can differentiate non-suicidal controls, suicide ideators, and suicide attempters.…”

Background: Suicide prevention literature currently suffers from inconsistent measurement and incomplete theoretical development. Aims: Using a recommended suicide measurement approach for epidemiological studies (i.e., the Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised; SBQ-R), the present investigation assessed United Kingdom young adult suicide prevalence rates. This study also investigated the utility of a Preferences in Information Processing (PIP) model of suicide in identifying those at increased odds for elevated suicide risk, as well as lifetime ideation and attempt. Method: A cross-sectional mental health and well-being survey study (n=414) was conducted. Results: The prevalence rates of elevated risk (49.8%), lifetime ideation only (55.3%), and lifetime attempt (13.5%) were high. Bivariate associations demonstrated that elevated depression, anxiety, and Need for Affect (NFA) Avoidance were associated with worsened suicide outcomes, whereas elevated Need for Cognition (NFC) was associated with decreased suicide risk. Logistic regression results identified depression and NFA Avoidance as the strongest predictors of elevated suicide risk. Multinomial logistic regression results established several PIP-based moderation effects for depression and anxiety in which NFA Approach and NFC differentially influenced odds of suicide attempt group membership. Conclusions: The SBQ-R is an appropriate tool for UK young adult suicide research. NFA and NFC demonstrated potential for inclusion in young adult suicide prevention programming. Further research is needed to fully evaluate the PIP model of suicide and effectiveness of proposed theory-based approaches to suicide prevention.

Introduction: Decreased motivational tendency to seek out, engage in, and enjoy investing in complex cognitive processes in a sustained manner (need for cognition; NFC) may be a predictor and consequence of heightened anxiety and depression symptoms (ADS).However, the majority of investigations on this topic have been cross-sectional, which hinders causal inferences. Methods: The current study thus determined the within-person relations between NFC and ADS by using random intercept cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM) and bivariate dual latent change score (BLCS) approaches to separate between-and within-person effects. RI-CLPM and BLCS also present with advantages of adjusting for regression to the mean, baseline scores, autoregressive and lagged effects, and minimizing measurement error. Community-dwelling adults (n = 6750) completed the Mental Health Inventory-5 and trait-level NFC scales approximately every one year across 10 years. Results: RI-CLPM showed that within persons, lower level of NFC predicted higher future level of ADS, and vice versa (d = -0.852 to -0.498). Likewise, BLCS demonstrated that within persons, smaller change in NFC forecasted larger subsequent increase in ADS, and conversely (d = -0.631 to -0.519). Findings remained after adjusting for socio-demographic covariates. Conclusion: Consistent with theories, findings suggested that the within-person level-to-future level and change-to-future change relations among NFC and ADS were bi-directional and negative, with moderate-to-large effect sizes. Targeting NFC may treat or prevent the emergence of depression and anxiety disorders. Such efforts may include augmenting or personalizing evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapeutic strategies for individuals with or at-risk for heightened ADS.
