Suicidal desire and the capability for suicide: Tests of the interpersonal-psychological theory of suicidal behavior among adults.
Abstract
The interpersonal-psychological theory of suicidal behavior (T. E. Joiner, 2005) proposes that an individual will not die by suicide unless he or she has both the desire to die by suicide and the ability to do so. Three studies test the theory's hypotheses. In Study 1, the interaction of thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness predicted current suicidal ideation. In Study 2, greater levels of acquired capability were found among individuals with greater numbers of past attempts. Results also indicated that painful and provocative experiences significantly predicted acquired capability scores. In Study 3, the interaction of acquired capability and perceived burdensomeness predicted clinician-rated risk for suicidal behavior. Implications for the etiology, assessment, and treatment of suicidal behavior are discussed.

In initial tests by the authors' laboratory, the number of past suicide attempts was positively correlated with self-reported acquired capability, and people with multiple past attempts reported the highest levels.
“Results indicated that number of past attempts positively correlated with levels of acquired capability, with highest levels of acquired capability reported by individuals with multiple past attempts.”

“Future research could also address the hypotheses that other predictors of suicide, including mental pain (Shneidman, 1985), aversive self-awareness (Baumeister, 1990), and hopelessness (Cornette, Abramson, & Bardone, 2000), are related to suicidal desire through their relationships with thwarted belongingness and per…”

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.
