Summary
Individuals with suicidal ideation, plans, or attempts show impaired interoception, including less trust in bodily sensations and difficulties with self-regulation. These deficits may be linked to suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Psychiatry
- Psychology
Background:
- Interoception deficits are linked to suicidality.
- Previous research often examined general interoception, not specific facets.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare individuals with lifetime suicidal ideation, plans, and attempts using a multidimensional interoception assessment.
- To investigate specific interoceptive differences across the suicidality continuum.
Main Methods:
- 537 adults completed interoception and lifetime suicide history measures.
- Multidimensional assessment of interoception was utilized.
Main Results:
- Suicidal ideation linked to increased worry about bodily sensations.
- Suicide attempts associated with greater distraction from and less self-regulation of bodily sensations.
- All suicidality groups reported reduced trust in bodily sensations.
Conclusions:
- Findings suggest impaired interoception in individuals with a history of suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
- Longitudinal studies are necessary to determine causality and the interplay between interoception and suicidality.

Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination
3.5K
Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...

The Apoplast and Symplast
54.3K
Plant growth depends on its ability to take up water and dissolved minerals from the soil. The root system of every plant is equipped with the necessary tissues to facilitate the entry of water and solutes. The plant tissues involved in the transport of water and minerals have two major compartments - the apoplast and the symplast. The apoplast includes everything outside the plasma membrane of living cells and consists of cell walls, extracellular spaces, xylem, phloem, and tracheids. The...

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Factorial Design
14.2K
Factorial Analysis is an experimental design that applies Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistical procedures to examine a change in a dependent variable due to more than one independent variable, also known as factors. Changes in worker productivity can be reasoned, for example, to be influenced by salary and other conditions, such as skill level. One way to test this hypothesis is by categorizing salary into three levels (low, moderate, and high) and skills sets into two levels (entry level...

Correlation and Causation
43.0K
Statistical tests can calculate whether there is a relationship, or correlation, between independent and dependent variables. An indirect relationship of the variables signifies a correlation, while a direct relationship shows causation. If it is determined that no connection exists between the variables, then the correlation is a coincidence.

Attitudes
33.2K
Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...
