“…The synergy hypothesis not being statistically significant cross-sectionally or prospectively across a three-day interval is inconsistent with the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide's synergy hypothesis being a proximal risk factor for suicide ideation (Joiner, 2005), but our findings are consistent with five of the studies in the very mixed literature testing the synergy hypothesis using a longitudinal design (Batterham et al, 2018;Miller et al, 2016;Roeder & Cole, 2018;Teismann et al, 2017;Yang et al, 2020). Now, with the addition of our study to this literature, six of the 11 longitudinal studies are inconsistent with the synergy hypothesis.…”

“…Despite the abundance of cross-sectional studies testing the main tenets of the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide, to date, only ten longitudinal studies have tested the synergy hypothesis (Batterham et al, 2018;Czyz et al, 2018;Hallensleben et al, 2019;Kleiman et al, 2014;Kyron et al, 2018;Miller et al, 2016;Roeder & Cole, 2018;Teismann et al, 2017;Wolford-Clevenger et al, 2019;Yang et al, 2020). The results of these studies were mixed, with four studies not finding a statistically significant interaction (Miller et al, 2016;Roeder & Cole, 2018;Teismann et al, 2017;Yang et al, 2020), and six studies finding a statistically significant interaction. Of the six studies that found a significant interaction, one indicated a pattern contrary to the synergy hypothesis (i.e., the relationship between thwarted belongingness and suicide ideation was weaker among those with high levels of perceived burdensomeness; Batterham et al, 2018), whereas five studies found an interaction with a pattern that was consistent with the synergy hypothesis (i.e., the relationship between thwarted belongingness and suicide ideation was stronger among those with high levels of perceived burdensomeness; Czyz et al, 2018;Hallensleben et al, 2019;Kleiman et al, 2014;Kyron et al, 2018;Wolford-Clevenger et al, 2019).…”

Of note, the majority of the studies that found a pattern consistent with the synergy hypothesis used shortterm follow-up intervals (e.g., daily or multiple within-day measurements; Czyz et al, 2018;Hallensleben et al, 2019;Kyron et al, 2018;Wolford-Clevenger et al, 2019), while all the studies that found a pattern inconsistent with the synergy hypothesis used extended follow-up intervals (i.e., three months -four years; Batterham et al, 2018;Miller et al, 2016;Roeder & Cole, 2018;Teismann et al, 2017;Yang et al, 2020). In addition, none of the longitudinal studies accounted for quadratic effects when examining the synergy hypothesis.…”

Objective Our primary aim was to test the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide's synergy hypothesis (i.e., the interaction between perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness) in the proximal prediction of suicide ideation, while accounting for quadratic effects. Method We used MTurk to recruit participants (N = 478) with a lifetime history of suicidal thoughts and behaviors; they completed two batteries of self‐report questionnaires three days apart. Results Contrary to the synergy hypothesis, only suicide ideation and the quadratic effect of perceived burdensomeness at Time 1 were significant predictors of suicide ideation at Time 2. The quadratic effect of perceived burdensomeness indicated a u‐shaped function, whereby scores at or above the 80th percentile on perceived burdensomeness at Time 1 had increasingly strong, positive associations with suicide ideation at Time 2, while scores under the 80th percentile were not predictive of suicide ideation at Time 2. Also, thwarted belongingness and suicide ideation at Time 1 were significant predictors of perceived burdensomeness at Time 2. Conclusions These findings add to a growing literature that does not support the synergy hypothesis and suggests the importance of including nonlinear terms when examining the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide's constructs.

“…Thirdly, state social anhedonia appears to also be an important construct for understanding suicide (Winer et al, ). Moreover, high levels of trait social anhedonia were an amplifier of the relationship between the suicide theory components and SI in the author's recent study (Yang, Wang, Liu, & Liu ). It would be interesting for further investigations into whether high levels of social anhedonia predict future SI, whereas low levels of nonsocial anhedonia predict future SI.…”

Background Recent works suggested taking into account the severity and the type of anhedonia when examining suicidal ideation. The present study investigated a moderated mediation model addressing the psychosocial mechanisms that account for the association between state or trait anhedonia and suicidal ideation. Methods State anhedonia was assessed using the Snaith‐Hamilton Pleasure Scale, while trait anhedonia was assessed using the Temporal Experience of Pleasure Scale. A total number of 1,361 of undergraduates completed questionnaires at three different times, with one‐year intervals. Results The direct effect of stress on suicidal ideation was significantly greater for those students who had lower trait anticipatory and consummatory anhedonia, whereas the indirect effect from stress on suicidal ideation through depression was significantly greater for those who had higher state anhedonia. Moreover, trait consummatory anhedonia moderated the relationship between stress and suicidal ideation after one year, and trait anticipatory anhedonia moderated the relationship between stress and suicidal ideation after two years. Conclusions Low levels of trait anhedonia were associated with elevated suicidal ideation, while high levels of state anhedonia were associated with elevated suicidal ideation. Trait consummatory anhedonia was associated with short‐term suicidal ideation, while trait anticipatory anhedonia was associated with long‐term suicidal ideation.

Introduction: Recent works have developed two self-report measures of general and social anhedonia for adolescents. Little is known about the relative stability of these constructs and their associations with psychopathological symptoms over time. Methods: A total of 694 Chinese adolescents aged 14-16 years (74.6% girls) completed measures of anhedonia at two time points 1 year apart. General anhedonia was assessed using the Snaith Hamilton Pleasure Scale while social anhedonia was assessed using the Adolescent Anticipatory and Consummatory Interpersonal Pleasure Scale. Results: General and social anhedonia significantly increased over time, F (1, 693) =16.54, p < .001, η 2 = 0.02; F (1, 693) =27.31, p < .001, η 2 = 0.04. Greater depression (b = -0.10, p = .006), suicidal ideation (b = -0.55, p < .001), generalized anxiety (b = -0.28, p = .012), social anxiety (b = -0.28, p = .002), and interpersonal stressful events (b = -0.20, p = .035) were associated with greater social anhedonia. Suicidal ideation was associated with general anhedonia (b = 0.29, p = .004). Higher positive schizotypal personality was associated with less general and social anhedonia (b = -0.18, b = 0.16, all p < .001) whereas higher negative schizotypal personality was associated with greater general and social anhedonia (b = 0.34, b = -0.58, all p < .001). Conclusions: This finding suggests that anhedonia is an increasing trend during adolescence. The relationship between anhedonia and psychopathology was specific to social anhedonia.
