- 2024 May 6, Kevin S. Kuehn, Marilyn L. Piccirillo, Adam M. Kuczynski, Kevin M. King, Colin A. Depp, Katherine T. Foster, “Person-specific dynamics between negative emotions and suicidal thoughts”, in Comprehensive Psychiatry, volume 133, :
- A focus on averaged risk effects, estimated across people, may occlude idiographic within-person processes which could aid in the precise detection of individual-level correlates of suicide. The present study focuses on new statistical models applied to intensive longitudinal data to quantify heterogeneity in within-person processes.
Nomothetic approaches, such as multi-level models, are the most conventional method for identifying group-level suicide risk factors. These methods assume that effects apply equally across all individuals.
