“…Suicide is defined as any death where the cause of death or the contributory cause of death was identified as intentional selfharm by a coroner or similar body (Windfur and Kapur 2011). Preference was given to those studies able to provide information across representative populations (e.g., coverage across entire occupational groups), rather than smaller samples within specific populations.…”

This report investigated whether suicide risk by occupational groups differed for males and females. We examined this using a sub-set of articles examined in a recent meta-analysis and stratified by gender. For certain occupational groups, males and females had a similar risk of suicide (the military, community service occupations, managers, and clerical workers). There was some indication of gender differences for other occupations (technicians, plant and machine operators and ship's deck crew, craft and related trades workers, and professionals), although these did not reach statistical significance. These findings highlight the complexity of the relationship between occupation and suicide and suggest the possible role of a range of individual, work-related and social-environmental risk factors that may differ for males and females.

“…To the best of our knowledge, suicidality may be a relatively stable vulnerability for some individuals and unlike suicidal behaviors, suicidal ideation by its own may be a specific cognitive susceptibility factor for development of psychopathology rather than co-occuring with psychopathology, such as depression or PTSD. Poor problem solving capabilities, greater impulsivity (Windfuhr and Kapur, 2011), and deficiencies in interpersonal skills, conceptualized as burdensomeness and thwarted relatedness (Ribeiro and Joiner, 2011), have been suggested to be the hallmark features of suicidal individuals. Suicidal behavior is one of pathological manifestations which represents incapability in dealing with stressful situations coupled with emotional regulation deficits.…”

“…Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 1.5 % of all deaths (Windfuhr and Kapur 2011). Deliberate self-harm (DSH), though difficult to estimate precisely, is much more common than suicide, and suicidal thoughts are experienced by around one in six of the population (MacLeod 2013).…”

The present study sought to understand the perceived well-being value of future goals as a possible explanation for why persons who are suicidal remain attached to goals that are seen as unattainable. Deliberate self-harm patients (DSH; N = 24) were compared with matched hospital controls (N = 24) on a range of measures including current well-being and perceived future wellbeing in the context of imagined goal attainment. Despite the DSH group having substantially lower current levels of well-being, there was no difference between the groups when forecasting their future well-being in the context of imagined attainment. For DSH participants the thought of achieving an important future goal is seen as necessary and sufficient for attaining normal levels of future well-being, which may function to keep them attached to goals that are perceived as relatively unattainable.
