“…When racial/ethnic diversity is present, the numbers of nonCaucasians are often too small for adequate group comparisons (e.g., Hagstrom & Gutierrez, 1998;Osman et al, 1993;Payne & Range, 1995). Harris and Molock (2000) argued that the multiple differences in suicide risk and protective factors between racial/ethnic groups support studying them separately from Caucasians.…”

Validation of the Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation (PANSI) Inventory in a diverse sample of young adults

et al. 2005

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The psychometric properties and factor structure of the Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation (PANSI) Inventory are reported. Data from 220 Caucasian, 127 African American, 42 Latino/Hispanic, and 39 Asian American college students were collected and analyzed. Results indicate that the two-factor structure and internal consistency of the PANSI were upheld within the minority group sample; however, differences in responses to the PANSI subscales across racial/ethnic groups were observed. Correlational analyses support the convergent validity of the PANSI, although some group differences were noted. The identified group differences are discussed in terms of the utility of the PANSI and a potential need for separate racial/ethnic norms when assessing suicidal ideation and behaviors in diverse individuals. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Psychol 61: 431-445, 2005. Keywords: PANSI; psychometrics; minority differencesResearch indicates that suicidal behavior is multifaceted (e.g., Hirsch & Ellis, 1996;Rudd, Joiner, & Rajab, 1996;Strang & Orlofsky, 1990). However, most of the existing scales assessing suicide have focused on measuring either risk factors or factors that protect against suicide. For example, there are numerous scales assessing precursors of suicidal behavior, such as ideation (e.g., Adult Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire; Reynolds, Preliminary results of this study were presented as a poster at

Assessment of Suicidal Ideation in Young Men and Women: The Incremental Validity of the Mmpi-2 Content Scales

2001

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study of 139 women and 75 men investigated the incremental validity of the MMPI-2 in assessing suicidal ideation by examining the unique contribution of the 15 content scales beyond what is provided by the 13 basic validity and clinical scales. A multivariate analysis of variance resulted in a significant difference on the validity, clinical, and content scales for young men and women. Women scored significantly higher than men on the Hypochondriasis, Depression, Conversion Hysteria, and Masculinity-Femininity scales and lower than men on the Hypomania, Fears, Anger, and Type A scales. The results of the hierarchical regression analyses indicated that for women, hopelessness and reasons for living; the Correction, Paranoia, Conversion Hysteria, Psychopathic Deviate, and Hypomania scales; and the Anger content scale contributed significantly to the prediction of suicidal ideation. For men, hopelessness, the Lie and Hypomania scales, and the Type A content scale contributed significantly to the prediction of suicidal ideation. Thus, it would appear that a different pattern of concerns and difficulties are manifested in young men and women related to suicidal ideation. Limitations of the present study and future directions for research are discussed.

During the early to mid‐1970s, the Symbionese Liberation Army operated as a leftist revolutionary outfit based in the San Francisco East Bay Area. It became infamous for the murder of Oakland School Superintendent Marcus Foster on November 6, 1973; the kidnapping of heiress Patricia Campbell Hearst on February 4, 1974; the Hibernia Bank robbery in San Francisco on April 15, 1974; the Los Angeles, California, shoot‐out of May 17, 1974, in which six of its soldiers were killed; and the Crocker National Bank robber and murder on April 21, 1975. The SLA came together during the spring and summer of 1973 out of diverse circumstances and events: the collapse of the New Left, prison reform movement, women’s liberation, and the impact of revolutionary writings by George Jackson, Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara, and Carlos Marighella. On August 21, 1973, the SLA, composed of white soldiers, mostly female, and led by an African–American escaped convict, declared war on the United States of America.
