Existing Trust & Safety policies predominantly focus on protecting content moderators’ (CoMos) safety against severe content violations. Nevertheless, in reality, CoMos might encounter content across a broad severity spectrum while perceptions of content severity among CoMos are yet to be fully understood in relation to their well-being and job acc...

Content moderators review problematic content for technology companies. One concern about this critical job is that repeated exposure to false claims could cause moderators to come to believe the very claims they are supposed to moderate, via the “illusory truth effect.” In a first field experiment with a global content moderation company (N = 199)...
Article
Purpose Patients receiving treatment for self‐injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs) have diverse backgrounds, yet it remains unclear exactly who is represented in the current SITB treatment literature. Methods We conducted a systematic review of the past 50 years of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) testing SITB treatments to evaluate samplin...

Introduction To decrease psychological risk for content moderators, the study initiated the first steps of developing a robust employment screening tool, namely, the Cognitive Adaptability and Resiliency Employment Screener. Method The study consisted of three phases with 4,839 total participants. Results In Phase 1, a set of 75 items were develo...

Content moderators regularly review problematic content for technology companies, and repeated exposure to claims could cause moderators to come to believe the very claims they are supposed to moderate. However, the nature of their jobs might buffer against this repetition-induced truth effect. We conducted a field experiment with TaskUs, a global...
Article
Existing evidence suggests a link between physical pain and suicide, but the nature of this relationship remains unknown. To address this critical gap in knowledge, the present study leveraged a validated virtual reality (VR) suicide paradigm to experimentally examine the causal effects of physical pain on subsequent virtual suicidal behaviors. Bas...

Using psychotropic medications to treat and prevent self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs) has become increasingly popular, but conclusive evidence supporting the efficacy this approach remains elusive. To empirically examine whether psychotropic medications are efficacious treatments for SITBs, the present meta-analysis comprehensively summ...

Many have expressed concerns about the safety and ethics of conducting suicide research, especially intense suicide research methods that expose participants to graphic depictions of suicidality. We conducted two studies to evaluate the effects of one such method called virtual reality (VR) suicide. Study 1 tested the effects of VR suicide exposure...

Capability-based models propose that people die by suicide because they want to, and they can. Despite the intuitive appeal of this hypothesis, longitudinal evidence testing its predictive validity has been limited. This study tested the predictive validity of the desire-capability hypothesis. A total of 1,020 self-injuring and/or suicidal adults w...

Self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs) are major public health concerns impacting a wide range of individuals and communities. Despite major efforts to develop and refine treatments to reduce SITBs, the efficacy of SITB interventions remains unclear. To provide a comprehensive summary of SITB treatment efficacy, we conducted a meta-analysis...

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in understanding the relationship between sleep and suicide. Although sleep disturbances are commonly cited as critical risk factors for suicidal thoughts and behaviours, it is unclear to what degree sleep disturbances confer risk for suicide. The aim of this meta-analysis was to clarify the extent...

Background Why do some people engage in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) while others attempt suicide? One way to advance knowledge about this question is to shed light on the differences between people who engage in NSSI and people who attempt suicide. These groups could differ in three broad ways. First, these two groups may differ in a simple way,...
Article

Objective: Suicide ideators and suicide attempters might differ in 3 possible ways. First, they might differ in a simple way such that one or a small set of factors are both necessary and sufficient to distinguish between the 2 groups. Second, ideators and attempters might differ in a complicated way such that a specific combination of a large set...

This meta-analysis aims to evaluate whether the extant literature justifies any definitive conclusions about whether and how SITBs may be associated with brain differences. A total of 77 papers (N = 4,903) published through January 1, 2019 that compared individuals with and without SITBs were included, resulting in 882 coordinates. A pooled meta-an...

Background: Given that many people think about suicide and relatively few attempt suicide, researchers have proposed that accurate differentiation between ideators and attempters can aid suicide prevention efforts. Ideators and attempters might differ in three possible ways. First, they might differ in a simple way such that one or a small set of f...

Objective: Efforts to predict nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI; intentional self-injury enacted without suicidal intent) to date have resulted in near-chance accuracy. Incongruence between theoretical understanding of NSSI and the traditional statistical methods to predict these behaviors may explain this poor prediction. Whereas theoretical models o...
Article
For decades, our ability to predict suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) has been at near-chance levels. The objective of this study was to advance prediction by addressing two major methodological constraints pervasive in past research: (a) the reliance on long follow-ups and (b) the application of simple conceptualizations of risk. Participants...
Article
1 Objective Our primary objective was to determine the potency of externalizing psychopathology as a risk factor for suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs). 2 Method We conducted a random effects meta‐analysis of 174 prospective studies (839 unique statistical tests) examining externalizing psychopathology and suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs...
Article
Background Many studies have documented robust relationships between depression and hopelessness and subsequent suicidal thoughts and behaviours; however, much weaker and non-significant effects have also been reported. These inconsistencies raise questions about whether and to what degree these factors confer risk for suicidal thoughts and behavio...
Article
Research indicates that people who identify as a sexual minority are at higher risk of numerous negative outcomes, including self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs). The minority stress model proposes that people identifying as a sexual minority are at higher risk of these behaviors due to sexual orientation-specific stressors-however, it doe...
Article
Background Research has long noted higher prevalence rates of suicidal thoughts and behaviors among individuals with psychotic symptoms. Major theories have proposed several explanations to account for this association. Given the differences in the literature regarding the operationalization of psychosis and sample characteristics, a quantitative r...
Article
Recent reviews and national statistics indicate that, so far, our field has made limited progress on fulfilling its central mission of preventing future suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs). We posit that a fundamental reason for our lack of progress is the way in which our field tends to think about and select STB intervention targets. Specifica...
Article
Full-text available
Background Certain demographic factors have long been cited to confer risk or protection for suicidal thoughts and behaviors. However, many studies have found weak or non-significant effects. Determining the effect strength and clinical utility of demographics as predictors is crucial for suicide risk assessment and theory development. As such, we...

Suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) are major public health problems that have not declined appreciably in several decades. One of the first steps to improving the prevention and treatment of STBs is to establish risk factors (i.e., longitudinal predictors). To provide a summary of current knowledge about risk factors, we conducted a meta-analys...
