Introduction: Prior research has demonstrated that rates of suicide are greater in more honor-oriented regions of the U.S. (particularly among White men), and that this difference in suicide rates becomes greater as men enter older adulthood. Research into the honor-suicide link has suggested explanatory factors that coincide with the interpersonal theory of suicide, such as untreated depression, heightened risk-taking, and the use of firearms in suicide. Method: The present study exam-ined ambivalent ageism, permissive attitudes toward suicide, and interpersonal risk factors for suicide as explanations for the honor-suicide link among a sample of 201 American men in midlife and above. Results: After controlling for participant age and religiosity, participants with greater endorsement of honor ideology but lower levels of honor fulfillment expressed heightened levels of thwarted belongingness—an established interpersonal risk factor for suicide. Additionally, lower levels of honor fulfillment predicted greater anxiety about aging, greater perceived burdensomeness, and more positive implicit attitudes toward youth. Conversely, greater levels of honor fulfillment also predicted more positive attitudes toward older adults. Discussion: Our results extend previous research on the honor-suicide relationship by demonstrating the utility of integrating the inter-personal theory of suicide with research on cultures of honor.

Abstract Prior research has demonstrated that rates of suicide increase as men enter older adulthood and that these rates are even higher in honor-oriented regions of the U.S. (particularly among White men). Research into the honor-suicide link has suggested explanatory factors that coincide with the interpersonal theory of suicide, such as untreated depression, heightened risk-taking, and the use of firearms in suicide; however, factors related to aging (e.g., ageism, anxiety about aging) have yet to be examined. The present study examined ambivalent ageism, permissive attitudes toward suicide, and interpersonal risk-factors for suicide as explanations for the honor-suicide link among a sample of 201 older American men (Mage = 56.45, SD = 8.35, range = 44-77 years of age). After controlling for participant age and religiosity, participants with greater endorsement of honor ideology but lower levels of honor fulfillment expressed heightened levels of thwarted belongingness (β = 0.35, p = .001)—an established interpersonal risk-factor for suicide. Additionally, lower levels of honor fulfillment predicted greater anxiety about aging (β = -0.41, p < .001), greater perceived burdensomeness (β = -0.39, p < .001), and more positive implicit attitudes toward youth (β = 0.27, p = .019). Conversely, greater levels of honor fulfillment predicted more positive attitudes toward aging (β = 0.20, p = .025). Our results extend previous research on the honor-suicide relationship by demonstrating the utility of marrying the interpersonal theory of suicide with research on cultures of honor.

SYNOPSISIn a case-control study, two potential interpersonal risk factors of non-endogenous depression, namely a patient's perception of their current intimate partner as dysfunctional and a patient's recall of exposure to previous deprivational parenting, were quantified. The interpersonal characteristics of the partner were assessed principally by a brief self-report questionnaire, the Intimate Bond Measure (IBM). By cross-sectional and longitudinal comparison of this instrument with other interview-derived and self-report measures, the convergent, discriminant and predictive validity of the IBM in depressed patients was established. Further, little evidence of any distorting effect of depressed mood or neuroticism was detected. The perception of the current intimate partner as dysfunctional imparted a risk to non-endogenous depression of at least five times, while reported exposure to parental ‘affectionless control’ was quantified as a four times' risk. Importantly, IBM care scores predicted the course of the depressive disorder over a six-month period.
