The death/suicide implicit association test (IAT) may be more resilient to accurately assess suicide risk than self-reports. We examined the IAT in 130 patients with depression and 125 healthy controls, along with self-reported suicidal ideation. IAT could differentiate patients with suicide attempts from patients without suicide attempts and controls. IAT measures were significantly correlated to explicit suicidal ideation and clinical symptoms in patients. Moreover, the IAT-symptom correlations were significant in female but not male patients. The IAT showed promise as a valid tool to estimate suicide risk in patients with depression and may be particularly useful in female patients.
死亡/自杀内隐联想测验（IAT）可能比自我报告更能准确评估自杀风险。我们对 130 名抑郁症患者和 125 名健康对照者进行了 IAT 测试，同时对他们的自杀意念进行了自我报告。IAT 可以区分有自杀企图的患者和没有自杀企图的患者以及对照组。IAT 测量值与患者的外显自杀意念和临床症状显著相关。此外，IAT 与症状的相关性在女性患者中显著，而在男性患者中不显著。IAT 有望成为评估抑郁症患者自杀风险的有效工具，在女性患者中可能特别有用。
