Hostility and deliberate self-poisoning.

R Farmer, F Creed

    The British Journal of Medical Psychology
    |December 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Deliberate self-poisoning patients exhibit high extra-punitive hostility scores, regardless of depression. Intro-punitive scores indicate greater suicidal intent in depressed self-poisoners, suggesting hostility directionality may aid in distinguishing self-poisoners.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Psychology
    • Clinical Psychology

    Background:

    • Patients hospitalized for deliberate self-poisoning often display elevated hostility.
    • The precise function of hostility in self-poisoning behaviors remains unclear.
    • Existing research suggests a link between depression and hostility directionality.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the role of hostility, specifically intro-punitive and extra-punitive scores, in patients who have deliberately self-poisoned.
    • To determine if hostility directionality can differentiate between depressed and non-depressed self-poisoning patients.
    • To explore the association between hostility and suicidal intent within the self-poisoning population.

    Main Methods:

    • Seventy young adults admitted for deliberate self-poisoning were assessed.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • The Hostility and Direction of Hostility Questionnaire (HDHQ) was administered.
  • Participants were evaluated for the presence of a depressive syndrome.

    • Main Results:

    • Depressed self-poisoning patients exhibited significantly high intro-punitive hostility scores.
    • All patients who deliberately self-poisoned, irrespective of depression status, showed high extra-punitive hostility scores.
    • High intro-punitive scores within the self-poisoning group correlated with greater suicidal intent.

    Conclusions:

    • Extra-punitive hostility may serve as a distinguishing characteristic for self-poisoning patients compared to other psychiatric groups.
    • Intro-punitive hostility in self-poisoners appears linked to increased suicidal intent, potentially related to depression or personality factors.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the relationship between intro-punitive hostility, depression, and personality in self-poisoning.
