Key Unstandardized Coefficients from Four Independent Conditional Multilevel Structural Equation Models (with Moderation Effects being fixed to Equality) Predicting Suicidal Ideation from Average Negative and Positive Affect, Hostility and Impulsivity (i.e., model-specific predictors) Across Attempters (BPD-ATT) vs. Non-Attempters (BPD-NON).

Note. N=153 (between), N=2993 (daily), N=17926 (momentary); Non-Attempters (BPD-NON) group served as reference; positive regression coefficients denote that average momentary or daily values of affect or impulsivity, ideation, or the respective random slope (i.e., suicidal urge) is higher for the comparison group than for the BPD-NON group; a negative regression coefficient means that they are lower; group differences in the average levels of suicidal ideation were adjusted for each of the predictors;→indicates regression; model parameter estimates are standardized. 95% credibility intervals of parameter estimates are in parentheses. Bolded values indicate the credibility interval does not contain zero; SI = suicidal ideation, Suicidal Urge = daily within-person association between affect or impulsivity and suicidal ideation.
