Differences In Emotional Attention Biases Between Suicide Attempters And Depressed Non-Attempters

Suicidal thoughts and behaviors are frequently associated with depression, which is also characterized by emotional processing deficits. Current research literature includes mixed findings about emotional attention biases in people with a history of suicide attempts compared to those without. Using an emotional dot-probe paradigm, this project seeks to examine emotional attention biases and their neural correlates in suicide attempters (SA) compared to depressed participants without an attempt history (NA).
