Brief Summary

The primary purpose of the current study is to rigorously test the psychometric properties of the INQ-12 and ACSS (Van Orden et al., 2008) in Veterans, something which has not been done to date. Factor structure, internal consistency, convergent and discriminant validity will all be assessed. Secondary goals are to determine if burdensomeness, failed belongingness, and acquired capability are distinct versus overlapping constructs and whether or not values mediate the relationship between reasons for living and suicide risk. Lastly, the inclusion of the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation (BSS) allows us to analyze participants' responses to explore whether or not participants can be grouped into those who want to die by suicide because they want to escape their problems and those who want to die to influence other people.
