Please reach out if I can provide more information about the position below!

@queensuglobal.bsky.social did a write-up of my lab's work with collaborators at the University of Western Australia (led by Dr. Michael Kyron). This has been a great opportunity to think more globally about suicide prevention, and to coordinate research efforts.

One hope is that the paper provides scholars with useful information for designing experimental studies focused on understanding suicide. We have provided detailed supplemental tables that describe the images and where to obtain them, along with suicide ratings (how much they depict suicide).

If our images do not adequately capture the construct we think they're evoking, then making strong inferences about specific, suicide-driven processes is inappropriate. Fortunately, Lily has now compiled evidence for the construct validity of a relatively large set of suicide images.

Lily addressed a disarmingly simple question: do stimuli we use in experimental suicidology look "like suicide" to participants? This is critical because we use images to make inferences about cognitive-affective responses people may have to suicide, and to test hypotheses based in suicide theories

Abstract

I'm excited to share that the latest paper from my lab "An examination of the construct validity of experimental suicide images among young adults" (first author: graduate student Lily Martin) was accepted at SLTB. Link to preprint below:

Our article "Identity pathology and emptiness as novel predictors of suicidal ideation" is available open access in Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior! Brianna Meddaoui tested whether key personality disorder features prospectively predicted ideation severity.

Our latest article, "Suicide ideation severity and oculomotor avoidance of suicide-related stimuli which is now in press at Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior. Led by graduate student Emilia Sherifi, we used eye tracking to test tenets of the Cognitive Theory of Suicide.

Please check out this interesting and important new paper from the COVID-19 Mental Health Workgroup, led by Mary Blendermann. The piece unpacks longitudinal associations among constructs pertinent to understanding anxiety symptoms.

As a bonus: it’s been great to learn from this team.

Risky decision-making and nonsuicidal self-injury among university students: Examining the role of criticism feedback Risky decision-making putatively contributes to nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) yet empirical support for this association is inconsistent.

Our lab’s latest paper - led by co-first-authors Brooke Nancekivell (former UG student) and Lily Martin (PhD student) is now available. We examined risky decision making in the context of criticism, and its association with recent NSSI. Check it out. 👇
