Notes: Gender is coded as 0 = female, 1 = male; one nonbinary person was excluded from analyses in study 1. Rumination = perseverative thinking (PTQ) in sample 1, Suicide Rumination Scale in sample 2. Suicidal ideation and attempts were assessed using the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale. NSSI was assessed with the Deliberate Self-Harm inventory in sample 1, and the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale in sample 2.
