LUNA TASCON, Edwin Gerardo; ZAMBRANO GUERRERO, Christian Alexander; CEBALLOS MORA, Ana Karen  e  VILLALOBOS GALVIS, Fredy Hernan. Validation of a Standardized Procedure for Measuring Implicit Attitudes to Suicide. CES Psicol [online]. 2017, vol.10, n.2, pp.66-85. ISSN 2011-3080.  https://doi.org/10.21615/cesp.10.2.5.

The purpose of the present study was to validate a standardized procedure for measuring attitudes towards suicide in university students. As the concurrent validation criteria for the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) to suicide (IRAP-HS), the Positive and Negative Suicidal Ideas Inventory (PANSI) and the Beck Hopelessness Scale were administered to a sample of 102 students of the University of Nariño. Although the results found lack of a strong response to consider the clinical applicability of the IRAP-HS in the short term, the behavior of the DIRAP scores (obtained through a process that seeks to counteract the effects of participant variability related to factors such as age, motor skills and intelligence) in the different comparison groups does not definitively allow dismissing that the response latency to the trials is being affected by the degree of consistency between the verbal network of the participants and the relationships specified in the contingency arrangements of the procedure. Finally, some implications of the results for the applicability of IRAP-HS in clinical practice are analyzed.
