“…Indeed, the type of training that members of the military receive may result in habituation specific to that training, as suggested in the study by Scoville et al (2004). Silva's work is, further, consistent with research from Anestis, Khazem, Mohn, and Green (2015) that demonstrated that the interaction between thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness was associated with suicidal ideation, and that the three-way interaction between thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness, and AC was associated with lifetime suicide attempts. This effect was especially pronounced among those with a high AC for suicide.…”

Objective Suicide is a major public health concern among military servicemembers and previous research has demonstrated an association between bullying and suicide. This study evaluated the association between workplace bullying and suicidal ideation via perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness which were hypothesized to mediate this association. Method Four hundred and seventy‐one suicidal Army Soldiers and U.S. Marines completed self‐report measures of suicidal ideation, thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness, and bullying. A series of regressions were used to test the hypothesized mediation model using the baseline data from a larger clinical trial. Results Perceived burdensomeness was a significant mediator of the association between bullying and the level of suicidal ideation, but thwarted belongingness was not a significant mediator. Conclusions Perceived burdensomeness may represent a malleable target for intervention to prevent suicide among military service members, and should be evaluated further as an intervening variable with regard to suicidality in the setting of bullying victimization.

“…The nonsignificant results for analyses including perceived burdensomeness was surprising given previous research demonstrating that this variable is particularly important in military samples (Bryan et al., ) relative to thwarted belongingness; however, recent work has demonstrated that thwarted belongingness appears to be at least an equally robust predictor of ideation within National Guard samples (Anestis, Khazem, Mohn, & Green, ). Our results do not necessarily speak to a less important role for perceived burdensomeness in understanding suicide ideation within the Army National Guard, but rather a lesser role for this variable in predicting the false denial of ideation.…”

Using a military sample comprised largely of National Guard personnel, zero-inflation negative binomial regression was applied to estimate the effects of indirect, nonface valid indicators of suicide ideation [Thwarted Belongingness (TB), Perceived Burdensomeness (PB), and Hopelessness], in predicting suicide ideation. Data from a sample of 497 military personnel (82.1% male; m = 27.24; range = 18-59) were analyzed. TB and the interaction of TB with Hopelessness were significant predictors in the logistic regression, and in the negative binomial regression, the main effects of TB and hopelessness, and the interactions of TB with hopelessness and PB with hopelessness were significant. The findings further indicated that approximately 10% of those not reporting ideation would be predicted to be ideators. Clinically, these results indicate that, in samples reluctant to report ideation, the assessment of suicide risk may improve through the use of relevant measures that do not explicitly reference suicide thoughts.
