Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In one study, people who reported past serious suicidal ideation but had not attempted suicide reported more fear of suicide than people with serious ideation who had attempted.

    “individuals who reported a history of “past serious ideation” about suicide (p. 280) but had not attempted suicide reported higher levels of fear of suicide compared to individuals with serious ideation who had acted on this ideation through suicidal behaviors (Linehan, Goodstein, Nielsen, & Chiles, 1983).”

    From The interpersonal theory of suicide. (2010) · cites this paper as Linehan, Goodstein, Nielsen, & Chiles, 1983

  • Fear of suicide is one category of reasons people give for not engaging in suicidal behavior.

    “Fear of suicide is one category of reasons that individuals give when asked why they do not engage in suicidal behavior (Linehan, Goodstein, Nielsen, & Chiles, 1983).”

    From The interpersonal theory of suicide. (2010) · cites this paper as Linehan, Goodstein, Nielsen, & Chiles, 1983

  • Reasons for living, attainable positive future thinking, adaptive goal pursuit, belongingness or connectedness are motivational moderators that buffer against the emergence of suicidal ideation and intent.

    “Reasons for living [46], attainable positive future thinking [47,48], adaptive goal pursuit [49], belongingness [12] or connectedness [50] are MMs as they are thought to buffer against the emergence of suicidal ideation and intent”

    From The integrated motivational–volitional model of suicidal behaviour (2018) · cites this paper as [46]

  • It goes beyond recent theoretical accounts of ambivalence about suicide, since we posit that one's combined reasons for living and reasons for dying are simultaneously associated with distress, due to the loss of control they may entail.

    “However, it goes beyond recent theoretical accounts of ambivalence about suicide (Linehan et al., 1983; Jobes, 2006; Rudd, 2006), since we posit that one’s combined reasons for living and reasons for dying are simultaneously associated with distress, due to the loss of control they may entail.”

    From The Psychological Pathway to Suicide Attempts: A Strategy of Control Without Awareness (2021) · cites this paper as Linehan et al., 1983

  • Aspects such as fear of the pain involved in dying, fear of death, and/or fear of emerging disabled from a suicide attempt might also have an equivalent effect on suicidal ambivalence.

    “In addition, aspects such as fear of the pain involved in dying, fear of death (13, 38), and/or fear of emerging disabled from a suicide attempt, that is reasons against dying (“I would so like to be dead, but I don’t dare”), might also have an equivalent effect on suicidal ambivalence.”

    From Ambivalence model of suicidality [ABS-model]: an orientation model for the treatment of suicidal individuals (2024) · cites this paper as [38]

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.
