생태순간평가(EMA) 일기법 기반 자살패턴 분석: 성별차이를 중심으로

This study searches for understanding of suicidal pattern in Korea in terms of EMA and suicidal notes, including notes and any diaries. In the perspective of exploratory purpose, two studies were formulated in order to find out the suicidal patterns as well as phenomenology in real time. In the first study, the authors used ecological momentary assessment methods to measure suicidal and non suicidal SITBs as they naturally occur in real time. Participants were 62 young adults with a recent history of self injury thought who completed signal- and event-contingent assessments on cell-phone over a 7-day period, resulting in the collection of 1414 thought and behavior episodes. Participants reported an average of 1.59 thoughts of non-suicidal self-injury thought per week, most often of moderate intensity and short duration (1-30 min), and 5.06 episodes of NSSI per week. Details are reported that the contexts in which SITBs most occur. This study provided a first glimpse of how SITBs are experienced in everyday life and had significant implications for scientific and clinical work on self-injurious behaviors.
