Abstract

In a sample of 63 female suicide attempters, EPQ-R Psychoticism appeared as the most relevant dimension related to hopelessness, suicidal ideation and number of previous attempts. Extraversion correlated negatively with most measures associated with the attempt (depression, hopelessness, suicide ideation, suicide intention and number of previous attempts). Neuroticism showed a tendency to correlate with two measures of suicide ideation. Data are discussed in terms of the usefulness of the EPQ-R for suicide evaluation and prevention.
