Reducing Self-Dehumanization to Examine Oxytocin and Suicide Risk (NCT06713473)
Reducing Self-Dehumanization to Examine the Effects on Oxytocin and Suicide Risk
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this experiment is to further determine if self-dehumanization is a novel risk factor for suicide. This study will reduce self-dehumanization using a novel re-humanization condition and compare this group to a control group to analyze the pathway between higher perceptions of self-dehumanization, suicidal ideation, and changes in oxytocin concentrations. It is hypothesized that participants randomly assigned to the re-humanized condition will exhibit decreases in suicidal ideation and increases in oxytocin concentrations as compared to the control condition, which will not display significant changes. Further, we will explore if the magnitude of the oxytocin response will partially mediate the change in suicidal ideation.
