Abstract

This cross-sectional study investigated the usefulness of the emotional Stroop task (EST) as a behavioral marker for suicidal behaviors in a college population. Eight hundred twenty college students were asked to perform on the EST and to respond to suicide-related self-report measures. The results indicated that past suicide attempters were slower in responding to the word "suicide" as compared to nonattempters, and female past attempters showed more delayed response when their most recent attempt was made in the past 12 months. We did not find evidence that the EST could outperform the traditional self-report measures.

  • The Stroop effect does not outperform traditional self-report measures that differentiate those with prior STBs from those with none.

  • Some studies do not show the behavioral effect that individuals with prior suicide attempts have greater response latencies to suicide-related words.

  • Some have reported concerns surrounding the Suicide Stroop Task's ability to characterize suicide risk; effect sizes are small, the task performs close to chance in differentiating attempters from non-attempters, and it might not outperform traditional self-report measures.

    “Some have reported concerns surrounding this task’s ability to characterize suicide risk; for instance, the effect sizes are small ( Richard-Devantoy et al., 2016a ), the task performs close to chance in differentiating attempters from non-attempters (Wilson et al., 2019), and it might not outperform traditional self-report measures in characterizing risk ( Chung & Jeglic, 2016 ).”

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.
