abstract="Compared to non-offenders, offenders are at increased risk for suicidal ideation and psychopathy. However, literature currently lacks sufficient understanding of moderating pathways linking psychopathy to suicidal ideation among offenders. This study investigated anxiety and depressive symptoms as potential moderators using a sample of 162 male offenders in the New Jersey correctional system. <br><br>RESULTS supported a significant positive correlation between secondary psychopathy and suicidal ideation. Additionally, depression and physiological anxiety moderated the association between secondary psychopathy and suicidal ideation. Present findings may assist in determining relevant suicide risk factors (i.e., depression, physiological anxiety, secondary psychopathy) to assess for in offenders.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
