Abstract: A large majority of those who experience suicide ideation do not go on to attempt suicide; therefore, we investigated factors that may differentiate ideators from attempters. We specifically focused on emotions surrounding suicide and acquired capability for suicide. We found no significant difference between the emotions surrounding suicide experienced by those who had previously attempted suicide versus those who had solely ideated. Additionally, acquired capability for suicide did not significantly moderate this relationship.
