Longitudinal Temporal Mediation Within the Motivational Phase of the Integrated Motivational-Volitional (IMV) Model of Suicidal Behavior With Moderation of Loneliness and Resilience.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Integrated Motivational-Volitional (IMV) Model of Suicidal Behavior places defeat and entrapment central to the development of suicidal ideation. Factors such as loneliness and resilience may moderate risk. This study examines the longitudinal relationship between these variables.

Methods

Secondary data from the UK COVID-19 Mental Health and Wellbeing Study (COVID-MH) were analyzed (n = 2518). Defeat, entrapment, loneliness, resilience, and suicidal ideation were measured across 3 waves (March to May 2020). Six longitudinal mediation models were tested, each with wave 2 entrapment (or subscales) as mediator of wave 1 defeat and wave 3 suicidal ideation. Loneliness and resilience (from waves 1 and 2) were included as moderators of the associations between defea
