“…Suicide attempt status was defined as a score greater than 0 on BSS item #20, with intent to die. The BSS has adequate internal consistency, demonstrates high face, convergent, and construct validity (Beck et al, 1979), and is predictive of both suicide ideation and attempts (Cochrane-Brink, Lofchy, & Sakinofsky, 2000;Priester & Clum, 1992). The mean score for the current sample was 3.49 (SD = 3.92); Cronbach's alpha = .88.…”

Dispositional Optimism as a Moderator of the Relationship Between Negative Life Events and Suicide Ideation and Attempts

et al. 2007

Relatively little research has focused on the role that positive psychological characteristics, such as optimism, might play in the mitigation of stressors and reduction of psychopathology. Dispositional optimism is a trait-like characteristic reflecting a positive attitude or mood regarding the future. This study examined the moderating effect of dispositional optimism on the relationship between negative life experiences and suicide ideation and attempts in a college student sample. Negative life events were associated with current suicide ideation and previous suicide attempts, and dispositional optimism moderated these relationships, after controlling for hopelessness and severity of depression. Individuals with greater optimism have reduced risk for suicide ideation and attempts in the face of low to moderate negative life events; however, this association is changed at the highest levels of negative life events. Implications for 123 treatment include strengthening active and future-focused coping in patients who have experienced negative or potentially traumatic life events to protect against suicidal thoughts and behaviors.

“…In the present study, the BDI-II ␣ estimate was high, .90. Because depression has been related strongly to adolescent suicide-related behavior (see, e.g., Cochrane, Kate, Lofchy, & Sakinofsky, 2000;Hawton, Kingsbury, Steinhardt, James, & Fagg, 1999), the BDI-II total score was used as a measure of suicide risk.…”

“…Indeed, research suggests that active suicide ideation that involves depressive symptoms is the strongest predictor of suicide attempts and completions (see, e.g., Cochrane et al, 2000;Hawton et al, 1999). Additionally, it should be noted that suicidality is not a unidimensional construct; thus, varying levels of suicide behavior were identified, as recommended in the literature (see also Brent et al, 1988;Wilson, 1991), to maximize generalization of the findings.…”

A preliminary validation of the Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation (PANSI) inventory with normal adolescent samples

et al. 2003

The present study evaluated the factor structure, reliability, and validity of the Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation (PANSI; Osman, Gutierrez, Kopper, Barrios, & Chiros, 1998) inventory in a sample of high-school youths. The PANSI is designed as a measure of risk and protective factors related to suicidal behavior. Participants (114 boys and 103 girls) completed the PANSI and other self-report instruments. Results of the confirmatory factor analyses supported adequate fit of the 2-factor oblique model to the sample data. Both factor scales attained adequate levels of reliability. Boys and girls did not differ in their responses to the PANSI scales. The PANSI scale scores were associated with scores from related measures. Logistic-regression analyses were used to evaluate the contributions of the PANSI scale scores to differentiate between the study groups. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analyses, using data from the psychiatric suicide risk and high-school control youths, were used to identify cutoff scores of 1.63 and 3.33 for the PANSI-negative and PANSI-positive scales, respectively.

“…The SAD PERSONS scale was created by allocating one point to each of ten factors, but no high quality validation studies of the scale have been published to date (Hockberger and Rothstein, 1998). Assessments in Taiwan and a population of North American veterans have not been particularly supportive of the SAD PERSONS scale (Cochrane-Brink et al, 2000;Juhnke, 1994). Suicide among the elderly is different than in the younger general population; the elderly seldom show any early warning signs (Alexppoulos et al, 1999).…”
