More research is needed to evaluate turning points from suicidal ideation to suicide related behaviors, as well as (non-) recovery from non-fatal suicide attempts. The Fluid Vulnerability Theory suggests that suicide- specific cognitions modulate the transition from chronic to acute suicide risk. The present study analyzed the interacting effects of current suicidal ideation and prior suicide attempts on suicide risk factors in a sample of outpatient military veterans. Between-subjects analyses will evaluated the role of current suicidal ideation and prior non-fatal suicide attempts on cognitive, affective, and behavioral suicide risk factors. Non-fatal suicide attempts were associated with altered beliefs about suicide. Vulnerability to re-activation of suicide-specific beliefs may modulate recovery from non-fatal suicide attempts or chronic elevations in suicide risk in survivors of suicidal crises. Suicide-specific cognitions may also activate acute exacerbations in suicide risk in the context of general cognitive, affective, and behavioral dysfunction. |
