We've employed measurement invariance and item response theory (IRT) analyses quite a bit in my lab's and colleagues' research over the years. I'll be teaching a 2-day workshop on these statistical approaches this June! smart-workshops.com/inv-irt-info

Our panelists will explore the impact of federally funded research on suicide prevention, how funding structures shape which communities and questions get attention, and the consequences of funding cuts and anti-DEI efforts on both scientific discovery and public health outcomes.

Elizabeth F Mattera @lizmattera.bsky.social · 22/07/2025

As suicide rates continue to rise, evidence-based research remains essential—but growing threats to federal research funding and the rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives are placing critical progress at risk.

Psychological scientists study real problems. When their work is defunded, dismissed, or silenced, we all lose. Right now, lawmakers are pushing efforts to erase critical research—from DEI to LGBTQ+ mental health to racial disparities in care.

Psychological science is under attack. From funding cuts to political interference, the integrity of behavioral science—and the well-being of millions—are on the line. But this summer, we're fighting back. Join the #StandUpForScience campaign 👇 🔗https://www.standupforscience.net/

This study is small but important. It points toward an urgent need to differentiate suicidal phenomena. Blunt tools can cost lives and erode trust. 📌 Suicide prevention requires nuance.

Elizabeth F Mattera @lizmattera.bsky.social · 20/07/2025

FPSIs may offer a promising supplemental tool in distinguishing between SOs and SI. They can help clinicians move beyond vague language and better tailor risk assessments and interventions.

100

Elizabeth F Mattera @lizmattera.bsky.social · 20/07/2025

This matters! 🔸 SOs do not imply intent. 🔸 They often signal distress, not danger. 🔸 Misidentifying SOs as SI may lead to inadequate treatment.

100

Elizabeth F Mattera @lizmattera.bsky.social · 20/07/2025

The difference in imagined behavioral engagement was significant and even after controlling for depression & OCD severity, effect sizes were meaningful: 🔸 Large negative effect for arousal (β = −1.05) 🔸 Medium for ego-syntonicity (β = 0.64), behavioral relatedness (β = 0.58)

100

Elizabeth F Mattera @lizmattera.bsky.social · 20/07/2025

What we found was striking. Compared to those with suicidal ideation, individuals with suicidal obsessions rated suicide images as: ⬇️ Less pleasant ⬆️ More threatening ⬆️ More emotionally arousing ⬇️ Less behaviorally related ⬇️ Less aligned with their sense of self

100

Elizabeth F Mattera @lizmattera.bsky.social · 20/07/2025

In our pilot study, we showed participants with OCD a series of first-person suicide images (FPSIs) and asked them to rate their emotional and behavioral responses. We compared individuals with: 🔸 OCD + SOs 🔸 OCD + SI

100

Elizabeth F Mattera @lizmattera.bsky.social · 20/07/2025

Suicidal obsessions (SOs) are intrusive, ego-dystonic, and distressing thoughts about suicide. They’re not the same as suicidal ideation (SI), which reflects desire or intent. Yet most suicide risk assessments treat them interchangeably. This is dangerous.

100

Elizabeth F Mattera @lizmattera.bsky.social · 20/07/2025

🧠 New study alert: Not all suicidal thoughts are the same—and it’s time clinicians stopped treating them like they are. Our new research explores how suicidal obsessions differ from suicidal ideation in OCD. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 🧵👇
