Abstract
Suicidal ideation typically precedes suicide attempts. However, the dynamic relationship between the cognitive and affective mechanisms that give rise to ideation is not fully understood. In this study, we explore the effects of distress tolerance on the relationship between anger rumination and suicidal ideation. An undergraduate sample completed scales assessing distress response, anger rumination, suicidal ideation, and suicidal desire. Overall results reveal non-significant main effects for the role of distress tolerance in suicidal desire. However, moderation analysis indicates a small moderate effect of distress tolerance on perceived burdensomeness (but not on belongingness). Additionally, there is a statistically significant association between anger rumination and perceived burdensomeness. These findings highlight the nuanced interplay between distress tolerance, anger rumination, and suicidal ideation.
