Scale for Suicide Ideation: Psychometric properties of a self-report version
Abstract
This pilot study follows in the tradition of Jahoda in arguing that the study of the lives of psychologically healthy individuals can add to our understanding of mental health. The Personal Orientation Inventory (POI) is used to identify four psychologically healthy middle-aged adults. The subjects also were asked to respond in essay form to a written open-ended question with regard to their beliefs as to the factors that have assisted them in living more effective lives. An idiographic approach is pursued in which the subjects' responses to the POI and the open-ended question are analyzed. It is noted that while the circumstances of the subjects' lives are diverse, there are seven basic commonalities in their behavioral approach to life tasks. It is conjectured that these behavioral qualities may be universal for emotionally healthy individuals and that future research with larger samples may bear this out.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
