Self-Report Tests of Personality01:22

Self-Report Tests of Personality

Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Area of Science:

  • Mental Health Research
  • Digital Psychiatry
  • Suicidology

Background:

  • Common mental disorders are linked to suicidal ideation and behavior.
  • Web-based interventions often exclude individuals with suicidal risk, despite its prevalence.
  • A significant proportion of participants in online mental health studies may experience suicidal ideation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of suicidal ideation among individuals with common mental disorders in an online sample.
  • To investigate the association between specific mental disorders and suicidal ideation.
  • To assess the impact of comorbidity on suicidal ideation risk.

Main Methods:

  • 502 participants completed web-based questionnaires for common mental disorders.
  • 120 participants underwent telephone interviews for diagnostic confirmation.
  • Logistic regression analyses were used to examine associations between disorders and suicidal ideation.

Main Results:

  • 53% of participants reported suicidal ideation via web-based self-report.
  • Depression, generalized anxiety disorder, social phobia, and PTSD were significantly associated with suicidal ideation.
  • Increased comorbidity of mental disorders substantially raised the risk of suicidal ideation.

Conclusions:

  • Approximately 50% of online help-seekers with common mental disorders may experience suicidal ideation.
  • Comorbidity of two or more mental disorders is a significant risk factor for suicidal ideation.
  • Clinicians and researchers must recognize the high prevalence of suicidal ideation in this population.
