This study tested the Escape Theory prediction that individuals blaming themselves for failure experience increased accessibility to implicit suicidal mind. One hundred and thirty-eight undergraduate medical students were randomly assigned to three groups: failure-related priming, success-related priming, and control. Following experimental conditions, participants completed a death/suicide Implicit Association Test. Results revealed significant differences between groups in accessibility to implicit suicidal mind. Furthermore, priming manipulation interacted with individual differences in locus of control (LOC). Significant differences in accessibility to implicit suicidal mind were observed in individuals with internal LOC, while effects of priming manipulation were eliminated in individuals with external LOC.
本研究检验了逃避理论的预测，即个体因失败而自责会增加内隐自杀思维的可及性。138 名本科医学生被随机分配到三个组：失败相关启动、成功相关启动和对照组。在实验条件下，参与者完成了死亡/自杀内隐联想测验。结果显示，各组在自杀内隐思维的可及性上存在显著差异。此外，启动操作与控制点（LOC）的个体差异相互作用。在具有内部控制点的个体中观察到自杀内隐思维的可及性存在显著差异，而在具有外部控制点的个体中，启动操作的影响被消除。
