A Network Analysis of Capability for Suicide

Abstract
The capability for suicide (CS) is the capacity to engage in lethal suicide attempts. According to the interpersonal-psychological theory of suicide (IPTS), CS is enhanced by painful and provocative experiences(PPE). However, most of the empirical literature on CS suggested that the relationship between PPE and CS is not as strong as expected and other variables that could affect CS should be examined. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among CS and other variables including PPE using network analysis. Network analysis has been used in many studies when examining relationships among variables that are closely related to each other. Two-hundred ninety-nine college students participated in this study and responded to measures assessing fearlessness about death, pain tolerance, PPE, suicide ideation, depression, anxiety, loneliness, emotional distress tolerance, interpersonal needs, meaning in life, and attitudes toward life. The results showed that the relationship between PPE and CS was mostly not significant when effects of other variables on CS were considered. Suicide ideation was related to CS and emotional variables such as anxiety and emotional distress tolerance were also associated with CS. Also, cognitive variables such as meaning in life and attitudes toward life were related to CS. These relationships are markedly different between males and females. These results suggested that IPTS should consider modifications of concepts and principles related to CS. Several directions for future research are discussed.
