| Abstract/Description: | The present study investigated the malleability and the roles of both physical pain tolerance and fearlessness about death in acquired capability for suicide utilizing experimental methods involving acetaminophen and a social learning-based reading task. These two interventions were manipulated to test their effects on physical pain tolerance (PPT) and fearlessness about death (FAD), as measured by a pressure Algometer and the Acquired Capability for Suicide Scale – Fearlessness about Death, respectively. 106 Florida State University undergraduate psychology students were divided into four groups as follows: group 1 received acetaminophen and a control reading task; group 2 received acetaminophen and the observational learning reading task; group 3 received the observational learning reading task with no acetaminophen; and group 4 received the control reading task and no acetaminophen. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to test the hypotheses that there would be significant main effects for each intervention and that there would be a significant interaction effect as well. Multivariate results demonstrated that the effect for the interaction between acetaminophen and the reading intervention was not significant (p = .17), that there was a significant main effect for the reading intervention (p < .05) and that there was no effect for acetaminophen (p = .56). | |
