Returning veterans with suicidal thoughts demonstrated weaker emotion processing skills. This suggests that difficulties in managing emotions may be a risk factor for suicidal ideation in this population.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Military Mental Health

Background:

  • Veterans face emotional challenges during and after deployment, increasing their risk for suicidal thinking.
  • Emotional competence, the ability to manage emotions, may influence psychological distress and suicidal ideation.
  • Previous research suggests a link between poor emotional competence and suicidal thoughts in general populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between emotional competence and suicidal thinking in Vietnam War veterans.
  • To explore specific components of emotional competence, such as emotion processing and perception, in relation to suicidal ideation.

Main Methods:

  • The study analyzed data from 185 Vietnam veterans from the W. F. Caveness Vietnam Head Injury Study (VHIS) registry.

  • Participants completed the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and performance-based measures of emotional competence (Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test; MSCEIT, Version 2.0) and theory of mind.
  • Emotional competence measures were condensed into two components: Emotion Processing and Emotion Perception.

    • Main Results:

    • Veterans with suicidal thoughts exhibited poorer emotion processing abilities compared to those without suicidal thoughts.
    • No significant differences were found in emotion perception or theory of mind tasks between groups.
    • Veterans endorsing suicidal thoughts were younger at deployment, had lower education, and reported more negative social reintegration experiences.

    Conclusions:

    • The ability to understand, use, and manage emotions is potentially a risk factor for suicidal thinking in veterans.
    • Emotion processing deficits may play a crucial role in the development of suicidal ideation among veterans.
    • Further research is needed to understand the complex interplay of emotional competence, deployment experiences, and suicidal ideation in veterans.
