Manifestations of overarousal account for the association between cognitive anxiety sensitivity and suicidal ideation

Abstract

Together, these findings suggest that agitation and anger may explain the previously established relationship between cognitive anxiety sensitivity and suicidal ideation. Targeting cognitive anxiety sensitivity in treatment may in turn reduce these forms of overarousal and thereby suicide risk.

Severity of Suicidal Ideation Matters: Reexamining Correlates of Suicidal Ideation Using Quantile Regression

“…Items are rated on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (not at all true) to 4 (very true). Previous studies have provided evidence for the reliability and validity of the BAM (Ribeiro et al, 2011;Rogers, Tucker, et al, 2016); internal consistency in the present sample was good (α = .87).…”

Occupational stress and suicidality among firefighters: Examining the buffering role of distress tolerance

“…The SBQ-R demonstrated a violation of normality (i.e., skew = 3.015; kurtosis = 11.175). Thus, consistent with past research (Kimbrel et al, 2016; Rogers et al, 2016), we applied a log transformation to the SBQ-R to reduce skew (1.918) and kurtosis (3.179) to acceptable levels. We constructed models both using the transformed and non-transformed SBQ-R variable.…”

Sleep and suicide: A systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal studies

“…Furthermore, sleep disturbance is prominently featured as a warning sign (i.e., precipitating risk factor) for STBs by the American Association of Suicidology (American Association of Suicidology, 2019), the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, 2019), the National Institute of Mental Health (National Institute of Mental Health, 2019), and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2019). Consistent with this position, several current theoretical perspectives hold that acute suicide risk occurs during relatively short-lived periods of heightened arousal or agitation (Deisenhammer et al, 2009;Miller & Prinstein, 2019;Tucker et al, 2016;Wolfe-Clark & Bryan, 2017), and sleep disruption has been conceptualized as a manifestation of the over-arousal characteristic of this period of acute suicide risk (Ribeiro et al, 2015;Rogers et al, 2016;Tucker et al, 2016).…”
