This study found the Suicide Probability Scale

Area of Science:

  • Psychological assessment
  • Mental health research
  • Clinical psychology

Background:

  • The Suicide Probability Scale (SPS) is a tool used to assess suicidal ideation.
  • Understanding the psychometric properties of assessment tools is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
  • Previous research has not fully elucidated the factor structure of the SPS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the factor structure of the Suicide Probability Scale (SPS).
  • To evaluate the fit of the original four-factor oblique structure.
  • To provide updated norms for the total scale score.

Main Methods:

  • Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was employed.
  • A sample of 390 undergraduate students participated.

  • The SPS total scale scores were correlated with measures of mood and anxiety symptoms.

    • Main Results:

    • The original four-factor oblique structure did not provide a good fit to the data.
    • The total scale scores showed significant correlations with mood (r=.63) and anxiety symptoms (r=.51, r=.42).
    • Additional normative data for the total scale were generated.

    Conclusions:

    • The original factor structure of the Suicide Probability Scale may not be optimal for current use.
    • The total score of the SPS demonstrates convergent validity with mood and anxiety measures.
    • Further research is warranted to refine the scale's structure and confirm its clinical utility.
