To date, much less work has explored the potential role of interpretation biases in the development and prediction of suicide risk. The present study assessed the psychometric properties, including reliability, concurrent validity, and predictive validity, of a novel adaptation of the Word Sentence Association Paradigm (WSAP) to assess suicide-suicide interpretation biases. In a sample of 239 psychiatric inpatients, including patients with no recent suicidal ideation or lifetime attempts (<em>n</em> = 35), those with recent suicide attempts (<em>n</em> = 29), and those with recent suicidal ideation (<em>n</em> = 174), participants completed the modified WSAP as well as self-reported suicidal ideation and attempts for the subsequent 6 months. Although the WSAP demonstrated good reliability, evidence of concurrent and prospective validity (in terms of self-reported suicidal ideation and attempts) was limited. Specifically, the clinical groups did not differ from one another on any measure of interpretation bias, nor did suicide-specific interpretation endorsements predict concurrent or future suicidal ideation when controlling for dysphoric interpretation bias. However, suicide-specific interpretation biases were uniquely associated with a history of a lifetime suicide attempt. Future work should further clarify the extent and specificity of the relationship between suicide-specific interpretation biases and clinical outcomes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48457,"journal":{"name":"Behaviour Research and Therapy","volume":"182 ","pages":"Article 104619"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142049370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examined the relationship between DI and ARSBs in two separate samples of women. In Study 1 (<em>N</em> = 91), we found in an unselected sample that ARSBs were robustly associated with DI cross-sectionally while accounting for symptoms of depression and body dysmorphia. Further, greater ARSBs predicted increases in DI longitudinally. In Study 2, among a clinical sample of women with elevated appearance concerns (<em>N</em> = 94), we examined the experimental effect of reducing ARSBs compared to a self-monitoring control. Relative to control, instructions to reduce ARSBs led to lower DI, but this effect was only found for individuals low in baseline DI. Overall, we found preliminary evidence that ARSBs may be a salient factor in contributing to and maintaining DI; and SB fading may be a helpful strategy for reducing DI.

It may also be that such biases are exacerbated by momentary increases in state loneliness, or elevated anxiety or depression. Yet, little research has tested these possibilities. The current study aimed to advance understandings of loneliness by examining associations of chronic loneliness with individual differences in negative interpretation bias for social (relative to non-social) stimuli, and testing whether these associations change in the context of increased state loneliness and current levels of anxiety and depressive symptoms. These aims were explored in 591 participants who completed an interpretation bias task before and after undergoing a state loneliness induction. Participants also self-reported chronic loneliness, anxiety, and depression.
