“…From another perspective, reflection might be adaptive only if there are no negative cognitive biases [49]. Furthermore, in another study, reflection was positively associated with suicidal intent in suicide attempters with low problem-solving skills [50]. These studies present potential mechanisms underlying our finding of reflection as a risk factor for suicide attempts in the current sample of participants suffering from a major depressive episode.…”

Background Recent attention has focused on the role of rumination in suicidality, with evidence indicating that rumination may be positively related to suicidal ideation. There remains disagreement on the nature of the relationship between rumination and suicide attempts, especially in major affective disorders. This study was designed to identify whether rumination is a risk factor for attempted suicide. Methods A total of 309 patients with major depressive episodes were recruited for this study, including 170 patients with major depression and 139 patients with bipolar disorder. All participants were categorized into two groups based on a series of clinical assessments: suicide attempters (n = 87) and non-suicide attempters (n = 222). Rumination was evaluated with the Ruminative Responses Scale. A binary logistic regression analysis was carried out to evaluate the relationship between rumination and suicide attempts. Results Both global ruminative levels and the two subtypes of rumination, brooding and reflection, were significantly higher in the suicide attempters than the non-suicide attempters. After controlling for age, current depression and anxiety symptoms, and episode frequency, it was found that global rumination and reflection (but not brooding) were positively associated with suicide attempts. Conclusion These results suggest that rumination may be a risk factor for suicide attempts and highlight the maladaptive nature of reflection in patients with major depressive episodes.

“…Research into the role of metacognition in suicidality is limited, however, it is known that individuals experiencing suicidality are more likely to engage in rumination (Hallard et al., 2021), a style of extending thinking key to the S‐REF model, linked to higher suicidal intent and an inability to utilise effective problem‐solving skills (Sharaf et al., 2018). Worry and self‐punishment predict suicidality (Hallard et al., 2021).…”

BackgroundSeventy‐five per cent of UK suicides are completed by men, and associated masculinity beliefs are well researched. The self‐regulatory executive functioning (S‐REF) model of distress is governed by metacognitive beliefs about mental processes, such as worry and rumination. Little is known about metacognition in male suicidality and how these processes interact with masculinity beliefs, suicidal ideation and behaviour.AimsTo identify which aspects of the S‐REF model were present in a sample of men experiencing suicidality, and to consider how these processes interact with masculinity beliefs, suicidal ideation and behaviour.MethodFifteen men experiencing suicidal ideation or behaviour were recruited from a home‐based treatment team. Semi‐structured interviews and self‐report measures were administered to identify metacognitive processes and masculinity beliefs. Interviews were analysed using the framework approach.ResultsThe S‐REF model was identified across three super‐ordinate themes; ‘the cognitive attentional syndrome (CAS) and maladaptive coping’, ‘metacognitive beliefs about worry, uncontrollability and danger’ and ‘consequences’. Thirteen sub‐ordinate themes included processes such as ‘worry’ and ‘rumination’, metacognitive beliefs such as ‘worrying helps me avoid problems’ and ‘worry is dangerous for me’ and emotional consequences such as ‘overwhelm’, ‘emasculation’ and ‘escape’.ConclusionPerseverative thinking and erroneous metacognitive beliefs were associated with reduced functioning, which was incompatible with masculinity beliefs about leadership and strength, and suicide was considered as re‐establishing control. Further research into metacognitive processes in male suicidality would enhance theoretical understanding.

“…In college life, social problem-solving has a very important role for freshmen to support their success in dealing with problems. Previous research on social problem-solving has been associated with clinically problematic behaviors such as suicidal ideation (Sharaf, Lachine, & Thompson, 2018;Zhang, Wu, & Slesnick, 2021), or in adolescents who are far from an ideal situation as in prison or homeless (Hein et al, 2020;Zhang, Wu, & Slesnick, 2021). Meanwhile, this research focuses on social psychology in an educational setting that involves students and the use of technology in a positive context.…”

The condition of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the enactment of physical distancing and staying at home policy. With this isolation, face-to-face activities are replaced by online activities. Several studies have found that distancing has an impact on increasing anxiety and stress in college students. This is inseparable from their ability in social problem-solving. The aim of this study was to determine how loneliness, perceived stress, communication skills with peers influence social problem-solving. Participants were 702 freshmen from University X and domiciled in the Jakarta Greater Area and several other cities. The instruments were the Social Problem-Solving Inventory-Revised Short-Form, UCLA Loneliness Scale Short Version (ULS-8), Perceived Stress Scale, and the Interpersonal Communication Scale. The data was collected through an online questionnaire and were analyzed using hierarchical regression. The dynamics of research results show that loneliness has a significant effect on social problem-solving. When perceived stress is included in the model, the effect of loneliness on social problem-solving decreases and tends to be weak, although still significant, the effect of perceived stress is much stronger. When communication skills with peers are included in the model, the effect of loneliness is no longer significant and the effect of perceived stress decreases, but it becomes the strongest variable affecting social problem-solving. On the other side, the three independent variables have a great influence on solving social problems in freshmen.
