Implication

Exploratory analysis reveals coping and destigmatizing beliefs in a sample of 1,258 individuals, suggesting insights for reducing suicide-related stigma.

Key Points

The Adaptive Suicide Cognitions Scale was developed to measure coping and destigmatizing beliefs related to suicide.
A sample of 1,258 participants was used, with data analyzed through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses.
The final scale identified two factors: coping beliefs and destigmatizing beliefs, enhancing our understanding of suicide-related stigma.
Scores on both factors correlated as expected with measures of mental health and stigma, underscoring their relevance in this context.
