“…Suicide. Some researchers in the field of suicidality agree that suicide is a multi-factorial process, and it generally understood that negative cognitions are a precursor to suicide (Kiamnesh et al, 2015). What is less understood in the interplay between perfectionism and suicidal ideation (Shahnaz et al, 2018;Smith et al, 2018).…”

“… 1 , 2 Suddarth and Slaney 4 conducted a factor analysis using three measures of perfectionism, The Hewitt and Flett Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (HMPS), The Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS) and the Revised Almost Perfect Scale (APS-R) and found three factors which they labelled ‘maladaptive perfectionism’, ‘adaptive perfectionism’ and ‘orderliness’. A number of studies demonstrated that maladaptive perfectionism dimensions are strongly associated with negative outcomes, such as anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation, 5 , 6 whereas adaptive perfectionism dimensions have shown positive relationships with positive outcomes such as positive affect (PA), academic achievement and life satisfaction. 7 , 8…”

The dual model of perfectionism was adopted to explore the influence of adaptive and maladaptive perfectionism on depression in college students. The results support the dual process model of perfectionism in Chinese undergraduates. A sample of 206 Chinese undergraduates completed measures of perfectionism, General Self-efficacy Measure, Beck Depression Inventory, State Anxiety Inventory, Positive and Negative Affect Scale (Time 1) and Beck Depression Inventory 4 months later (Time 2). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the three-factor model of perfectionism with dimensions of maladaptive perfectionism, adaptive perfectionism and order factor fit the date well. Partial correlations analyses revealed that maladaptive perfectionism was related to psychopathology, whereas adaptive perfectionism was more closely correlated with positive features of mental health. In cross-sectional analyses, the discrepancy which measures the perceived difference between the standards one has set for one’s own behaviour and actual performance and the socially prescribed perfectionism subscales of maladaptive perfectionism could significantly predict baseline depressive symptoms. However, after controlling for the initial scores of depression, none of the perfectionism subscales significantly predicted the change in depression across a 4-month lag. Distinguishing adaptive and maladaptive aspects of perfectionism may be beneficial to understanding the influence of perfectionism on depression.

“…Entrapment is the perception that the defeat-generating situation cannot be resolved nor escaped (Gilbert & Allan, 1998). Some individuals see a form of liberation from entrapment through death, and the theme of escape is common in suicide (Baumeister, 1990;Ikunaga, Nath, & Skinner, 2013;Kiamanesh, Dieserud, & Haavind, 2015;Kovacs, Beck, & Weissman, 1975;Meyer, Irani, Hermes, & Yung, 2017). 2010) mediated the relationship between insomnia and suicidal ideation in university students.…”

Objective- In recent years, there has been a growing interest in understanding the relationship between sleep disturbance and suicide. The current study aimed to advance understanding regarding the psychological processes driving these relationships, by examining if insomnia symptoms are related to suicidal ideation via perceptions of defeat and entrapment. Method- Participants (n = 260) completed an anonymous self-report survey online assessing insomnia symptoms, chronotype, defeat, entrapment, suicidal ideation and behavior, and a range of covariates. Insomnia symptoms were associated with an increased suicide risk(independent of depression). Results- Bivariate associations found insomnia severity to be related to poorer affective outcomes. The relationship between insomnia and suicidal ideation was mediated by perceptions of defeat and entrapment. Conclusions- Taken together, these findings shed light on the psychological mechanisms linking sleep disturbance and suicidal ideation by highlighting the role of defeat and entrapment. These findings have the potential to improve suicide risk assessment and prevention in young adults experiencing difficulties initiating or maintaining sleep.
