Profiles of suicidal individuals: behavioral, emotional, and cognitive characteristics.
Article in Health psychology report, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis study aimed to analyze behavioral, emotional, and cognitive characteristics that influence varieties of suicide. The theoretical framework drew on three perspectives: philosophical analyses of the purposes of suicide, sociological examinations its processes of propagation, and psychological analyses exploring its mechanisms through personal characteristics. These perspectives served as foundational resources for the study's design and for constructing a questionnaire used in the experimental analysis. PARTICIPANTS AND PROCEDURE: A questionnaire was constructed to manipulate two key variables: the type of suicidal purpose (public, mixed, or private) and the level of suicidal activation (active or passive), resulting in six hypothetical suicide scenarios, which allowed participants to observe the simulated cases of suicidal behavior. Participants (
resultsSignificant variations were observed across the three types of suicidal purposes and the two activation levels. The patterns differed depending on the psychological characteristics, showing interaction between the two variables. Overall, suicides driven by private purposes showed higher behavioral propensity than those driven by public purposes. Emotional and behavioral responses were higher than cognitive ones, while cognitive activation was higher in public-purpose suicides.
conclusionsThe findings indicate that elevated emotional responses tend readily to transfer into suicidal behaviors. Behavioral propensity appears slightly lower in public-purpose suicides, which require stronger cognitive justification. These results suggest that suicide processes can be more precisely explained by considering psychological characteristics, while philosophical skepticism and sociological anomie have left certain ambiguities unresolved. Future research is encouraged to apply this design across diverse cultural contexts and to incorporate actual suicide cases to further validate the proposed model.
