abstract="BACKGROUND: The interpersonal-psychological theory of suicidal behavior (IPTS) posits that the joint presence of perceived burdensomeness (PB), thwarted  belongingness (TB), and capability for suicide (CS) is necessary for suicide  attempt. Emerging evidence demonstrates these effects are not consistently observed. Psychopathology may independently impact on the explanatory power of the IPTS  constructs. AIMS: The aims of the current study were to assess whether the inclusion  of psychopathology indicators into the IPTS explains additional variance in recent  suicide attempt and to assess the relative influence of interpersonal-psychological  constructs versus mental illness on suicide attempt. <br><br>METHOD: Australian adults  (N = 1,323; 77% female) who reported suicidal ideation in the past year were  recruited using social media advertising to complete an online cross-sectional  survey. <br><br>RESULTS: None of the predicted IPTS interactions was significantly  associated with recent suicide attempt, although PB and CS had significant  independent associations. The addition of psychopathology indicators to the IPTS  model explained significant additional variation in suicide attempt (18% vs. 14%). <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: The influence of psychopathology on suicide attempt may be  insufficiently explained by interpersonal-psychological constructs. The IPTS may  have greater explanatory power to identify transitions from suicidal ideation to  suicide attempt after accounting for mental illness.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
