The Life Attitudes Schedule-Short Form (LAS-SF) is a measure of suicide proneness featuring various conceptual models. We tested four competing LAS-SF factor structures, as well as construct validity with mental health and suicide metrics. Community dwelling adults ( = 488) completed an online cross-sectional survey. Results supported a four factor (i.e., death-related, health-related, injury-related, and self-related subscales) LAS-SF structure with one higher order factor. Death-related, injury-related, and self-related subscales demonstrated moderate positive associations with mental health and suicidal ideation. Death-related and self-related subscales showed links with suicidal ideation, as well as suicide and depression risk (controlling for other factors). This study is important in highlighting suicide proneness theory may need to be refined. LAS-SF uses include possible risk screening in clinical settings and future focus on the psychological death aspects of the LAS-SF in prospective research. Study limitations include lack of sample diversity and cross-sectional design.
生活态度量表-简式（LAS-SF）是一种衡量自杀倾向的工具，其特点是具有各种概念模型。我们测试了 LAS-SF 的四种竞争因素结构，以及与心理健康和自杀指标的结构有效性。居住在社区的成年人（n=488）完成了一项在线横断面调查。结果支持了一个四因素（即与死亡相关、与健康相关、与伤害相关和与自我相关的分量表）LAS-SF 结构，并有一个更高阶的因素。与死亡相关、与伤害相关和与自我相关的分量表与心理健康和自杀意念呈中等正相关。与死亡相关和与自我相关的分量表与自杀意念以及自杀和抑郁风险（控制其他因素）有关。这项研究的重要意义在于强调自杀倾向理论可能需要进一步细化。LAS-SF 的用途包括在临床环境中进行可能的风险筛查，以及在未来的前瞻性研究中关注 LAS-SF 的心理死亡方面。研究的局限性包括样本多样性和横断面设计的缺乏。
