Note. Suicide ideation = Positive and Negative Suicide Ideation Inventory, Negative Suicide Ideation Score. TB = Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire, Thwarted Belongingness Score; PB = Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire, Perceived Burdensomeness Score; Relational PV = Retrospective Bullying Questionnaire-Modified, Relational Peer Victimization Frequency Score. Pessimism = Life Orientation Test-Revised, Pessimism Score; TB X Pessimism = The multiplied effect of TB and Pessimism Scores. PB X Pessimism = The multiplied effect of PB and Pessimism Scores.
