In this state-of-the-science review, we summarize the key constructs and concepts within the interpersonal theory of suicide. The state of the scientific evidence regarding the theory is equivocal, and we explore the reasons for and some consequences of that equivocal state. Our particular philosophy of science includes criteria such as explanatory reach and pragmatic utility, among others, in addition to the important criterion of predictive validity. Across criteria, the interpersonal theory fares reasonably well, but it is also true that it struggles somewhat-as does every other theory of suicidality-with stringent versions of predictive validity. We explore in some depth the implications of the theory and its status regarding people who are minoritized. Some implications and future directions for research are also presented.
在这篇科学综述中，我们总结了人际理论中的关键结构和概念。关于该理论的科学证据存在分歧，我们探讨了这种分歧的原因和一些后果。我们的科学哲学特别包括解释力和实用价值等标准，除了重要的预测有效性标准之外。在所有标准中，人际理论表现相当不错，但也确实存在一些问题——就像其他自杀理论一样——在严格的预测有效性方面存在一些困难。我们深入探讨了该理论的含义及其在少数群体中的地位。还提出了一些该理论的影响和未来研究方向。
