Background: To examine the relationship between anger, impulsivity and suicidality. Methods: Thirty psychiatric inpatients admitted for suicidal behavior were compared with 30 nonsuicidal psychiatric inpatients and 32 healthy controls on measures of anger, impulsivity and suicide risk. Results: The three groups were similar on demographic variables, but the suicidal group scored higher on the suicide risk scale, impulsivity scale and anger scale. Anger and impulsivity correlated significantly with suicide risk. High anger and impulsivity contributed synergistically to the suicide risk. Whereas anger was specific to both psychiatric groups, suicidals and nonsuicidals, only impulsivity was specific to the suicidal group. Conclusions: These findings may have important implications for therapists and primary prevention workers, and may pave the way for the recognition of risk factors and for effective intervention in patients with a high suicide risk.

“…These characteristics are contradictory to those of individuals with a tendency toward suicidal behavior. People with a tendency toward suicidal behavior are characterized by rigid and dichotic thinking, negative attitudes toward themselves and the world, and negative beliefs and expectations, which are validated by their outcomes and perceptions of life as meaningless (Farberaw & Schneidman, 1965;Neuringer, 1976;Orbach, Rosenheim, & Hary, 1987;Schneidman, 1985). Under stress, individuals with high self-esteem tend to function and act in an efficient manner to solve problems, whereas those with low self-esteem tend to perceive themselves as incapable of coping and as without any alternatives.…”

The authors examined the direction and extent of the effects of adjustment, perceived social support, and self-esteem on suicidal ideation among young adults exposed to stress. Two hundred thirty male soldiers in compulsory service applying for aid at medical clinics filled out self-report questionnaires. Findings showed that personal resources affect suicidal ideation both directly and indirectly. Both resources studied had moderating effects on the association between adjustment level and suicidal ideation. Furthermore, level of distress mediated the effect of perceived social support on suicidal ideation. Combining moderating and mediating models introduces a comprehensive pattern in which adjustment and resources affect suicidal ideation.

“…In the years following D'Zurilla and Goldfried's seminal conceptualisation of social problem-solving, there has been substantial research into the relationship between social problem-solving, adjustment, social competence, and various forms of psychopathology. For example, effective social problem-solving has been found to correlate with adjustment and social competence (Heppner and Anderson 1985;Nezu 1985), while ineffective social problem-solving has been found to correlate with poorer social adjustment, suicidal behaviour and greater levels of psychological distress, such as depression among adults (Cheng 2001;Miner and Dowd 1996;Priester and Clum 1993), adolescents (Frye and Goodman 2000;Sofronoff et al 2005;Spence et al 2002) and children (Orbach et al 1987) (for a more comprehensive overview of this literature, see D'Zurilla and Nezu 2007 andNezu 2004).…”

Psychometric Properties of the Social Problem Solving Inventory-Revised Short-Form: Is the Short Form a Valid and Reliable Measure for Young Adults?

The purpose of the present study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Social Problem-Solving Inventory-Revised Short-Form (SPSI-R:SF), a 25-item self-report measure of real life social problem-solving ability. A sample of 219 Australian university students aged 16-25 years participated in the study. The reliability of the SPSI-R:SF scales was adequate to excellent. Evidence was demonstrated for convergent validity and divergent validity. Confirmatory factor analysis results were in line with past research and suggested good model fit. In addition, discriminant function analysis revealed that the SPSI-R:SF was able to significantly discriminate low and high levels of depressive symptomatology. Collectively, results suggest that the SPSI-R:SF represents a reliable and valid instrument for efficient assessment of social problemsolving ability in young Australian adults. Limitations and future research are also discussed.
