Note: Gender = male; HRSD = Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression without the suicide ideation item; BHS = Beck Hopelessness Scale; RFL = Reasons for Living; SC = Survival and Coping; RF = Responsibility to Family; FS = Fear of Suicide; MO = Moral Objections.

All variables were entered simultaneously into the multivariate analysis. A transformation (inverse of the SSI score +1) was applied to approximate a normal distribution.

Consequently, unlike the analyses reported in Table 1, in this Table lower scores reflect higher levels of suicide ideation. Analyses of Variance (ANOVA) suggested an acceptable fit of the multiple regression model for the severity of current suicide ideation [F (9, 115) = 4.76, p < .001], which accounted for 27% of the variance (adjusted = .21).

T-tests were used for significance testing (df = 124).
