Appraisals and Suicidality: The Mediating Role of Defeat and Entrapment

Taylor, Peter James, Wood, Alex M., Gooding, Patricia, Tarrier, Nicholas·2010·Archives of Suicide Research

Abstract

This study tested whether feelings of defeat and entrapment mediated the effects of negative appraisals upon suicidal ideation and behavior. A sample of 93 university students who reported some degree of suicidal ideation completed questionnaires of negative appraisals of social-support and problem-solving, defeat, entrapment, hopelessness and suicidality. The results supported a model whereby defeat and entrapment fully mediated the effect of appraisals of social support and problem-solving ability upon suicidality. Furthermore, controlling for hopelessness had no substantive impact upon this model. The findings support socio-cognitive models of suicidal behavior and highlight the key role of defeat and entrapment in suicide. The clinical implications of these findings are discussed.

  • Having many unsuccessful attempts at resolving the problem is likely to accompany a sense of defeat, i.e., the failed struggle.

    “This conflict between goals, which remains unresolved, is likely to lead to the sense of entrapment, whilst having many unsuccessful attempts at resolving the problem is likely to accompany a sense of defeat, i.e., the failed struggle (Gilbert and Allan, 1998; Taylor et al., 2010).”

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.
