“…Present findings are in partially in line with this prediction and offer some initial support this hypothesis. Although the present findings can be interpreted through the IPTS, only a few initial studies have found support for the IPTS in disordered eating samples [43, 44]. Future research is needed to fully test the IPTS in clinical eating disorder samples in order to better understand mechanisms leading to suicide attempts in this population.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore the association between specific forms of childhood abuse and neglect with lifetime suicide attempts in women with bulimia nervosa (BN). Methods Two hundred and four women aged 18–65 (mean = 25.6 years, SD = 9.13) with full or subclinical BN were recruited in five US Midwestern communities and specialized eating disorder clinics. Participants completed questionnaires including the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and self-reported whether they had ever had a lifetime suicide attempt. Logistic regression analyses were used to predict lifetime suicide attempts from each subscale of the CTQ. Results Childhood emotional, physical, and sexual abuse were significantly associated with the presence of a lifetime suicide attempt in women with BN. Childhood emotional and physical neglect were not associated with suicide attempts. Conclusions Individuals with BN who have experienced childhood emotional and sexual abuse are at increased risk of a lifetime suicide attempt. Future research is needed to understand the mechanism to address in treatment and prevention efforts. It is important for clinicians to be aware of the potential increased risk of suicide in individuals with BN with a history of childhood abuse.

“…Additionally, the current study utilized a cross‐sectional design, and thus, the temporal relationship between exercise dependence, capability for suicide, and suicidal behavior could not be established. As previous research suggests that increased capability for suicide is prospectively associated with increased exercise engagement (A. R. Smith, Yeager, & Dodd, ), future studies attempting to replicate the present results would benefit from the use of a longitudinal design. Relatedly, the results of the current study are further limited by the use of previous suicide attempts as our outcome variable.…”

Exercise dependence: Associations with capability for suicide and past suicidal behavior

et al. 2018

Objective Exercise dependence has been linked to capability for suicide and suicidal behavior; however, less understood are which facets of exercise dependence confer risk for suicidal behavior and the potential mechanisms of this association. This study examined relationships between exercise dependence, capability for suicide, and past suicidal behavior. Methods A sample of 540 individuals recruited via MTurk completed online measures of their exercise dependence, capability for suicide, and history of suicidal behavior. Results Suicide attempters reported higher levels of continuance in exercise despite physical or psychological consequences, lack of control over exercise, and reductions in other activities due to exercise than nonattempters. Capability for suicide accounted for the relationship between continuance in exercise despite adverse consequences and lifetime number of suicide attempts. Conclusions When exercise becomes pathological in the form of exercise dependence, steps should be taken to reduce such engagement due to its observed association with suicidal behavior.

“…Only one longitudinal study of the capability for suicide has been published with results suggestive of a more stable, rather than acquired, construct (Bryan et al , 2015). Accordingly, it is conceivable that the capability for suicide is, at least partly, biologically determined (Smith et al , 2015). That said, the current literature on the capability for suicide is severely limited and few conclusions about its development can be firmly drawn.…”

Purpose The interpersonal theory of suicide proposes that fearlessness about death, one aspect of the capability for suicide, may explain men’s greater risk for death by suicide. The purpose of this paper is to examine whether violence perpetration and victimization would mediate the relation of gender with fearlessness about death in suicidal psychiatric inpatients. Design/methodology/approach The current study used a cross-sectional survey design in a sample of 196 psychiatric inpatients admitted for suicide risk. Findings Men endorsed greater fearlessness about death compared to women. The relation of gender with fearlessness about death was partially mediated by violence perpetration, but not victimization. Violence perpetration may play a more central role in the development of fearlessness about death, the capability for suicide, and the transition from suicide ideation to action compared to violence victimization. Research limitations/implications The current study was cross-sectional and not able to definitively answer questions about the development of the capability for suicide. Future research must examine how fearlessness about death evolves over time. Practical implications Suicide risk assessment should include history of violence perpetration, as this may better identify those who may be at greater risk for suicide due to greater fearlessness about death. Originality/value The current study adds to the growing literature that aims to understand variables that explain the transition from suicide ideation to action.
