Suicide rates have increased substantially over the past decade (Drapeau & McIntosh, 2014). Previous research has documented that individuals with psychiatric disorders marked by impulse control issues or agitation are at greatest risk for suicide (Nock, Hwang, Sampson, & Kessler, 2010) and that individuals who are impulsive or aggressive are most likely to make medically lethal suicide attempts (Mann, 1998). There are other risk factors for suicide, including childhood physical or sexual abuse, self-injurious behaviors, and family history of suicide, but individuals who possess these risk factors are not necessarily impulsive nor aggressive, which complicates our understanding of the mechanisms that lead to lethal suicidal behavior. The Interpersonal Theory of Suicide (Joiner, 2005) posits that lethal or nearly lethal suicide attempts occur when an individual acquires the ability to enact lethal self-injury through repeated exposure to painful and provocative events (e.g., engaging in physical fights, or self-harm). Through this process, individuals experience a decreased fear of death and an increased pain tolerance that allows them to make a lethal or nearly lethal attempt. Furthermore, it is proposed that the relationship between impulsivity and the acquired capability for suicide occurs through repeated exposure to painful and provocative events. There is growing evidence that supports this claim; however, research to date has not tested this theory with measures that have predictive validity for completed suicide. This dissertation examines the level of intent to die (as a measure of acquired capability), painful and provocative events, and impulsivity in a sample of adults that recently attempted suicide. It was found that painful and provocative events significantly predicts level of intent to die, but there was no evidence of mediation, nor was there a main effect of impulsivity. Secondary analysis revealed that impulsivity increases one's risk for making an attempt but that these attempts are less planned, suggesting that lethal or nearly lethal attempts among highly impulsive individuals rely more on access to lethal means or chance.
