TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - The problem-solving diathesis in depression, hopelessness, and suicide ideation: A longitudinal analysis JO - Journal of psychopathology and behavioral assessment A1 - Priester, M.J. A1 - Clum, G.A. SP - 239 EP - 254 VL - 15 IS - 3 N2 - The problem-solving deficit (PSD) diathesis-stress model of suicide behavior proposed by Clum, Patsiokas, and Luscomb (1979) and expanded by Schotte and Clum (1982, 1987) was examined in a short-term longitudinal test. The present study assessed the relationship between problem-solving deficits at Time 1-prior to the stressor (a D or F on a midterm examination)-and adjustment at Time 2-after the Stressor. Evidence was found for an additive predictive relationship for stress and problem-solving deficits to Time 2 measures of depressive symptoms, hopelessness, and suicide ideation. Evidence was also found that PSD × Stress interactions uniquely predicted the three criteria. The results of this study were taken as evidence of problem-solving deficits functioning as a diathesis for depression, hopelessness, and suicide ideation. © 1993 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
