Self-Evaluation and Subjective Life Expectancy Among Suicidal and Non-Suicidal Psychotic Males

Self-evaluation & expectancy scales were administered to 96 psychotic males. Self-evaluation was relatively low for covertly suicidal Ss, but not for Ss who had made actual suicide attempts. Suiocidal Ss didn’t have shorter life expectancy plans than nonsuicidal, but SIS was directly associated with SE regardless of suicidal tendencies. (20 ref.)
